To be fair in the States they use an excessive amount of straws. It kinda feels like everything they drink comes with one, thus cutting back on them is a good decision, but in the future they also need to think about getting rid of plastic wraps, bags, etc.

Did you know, that a paper bag is 7 times worse than plastic one? And bio cotton bag 7000x? The production produces more pollution that the bag itself. There are studies for that. So what you just said doesnt make any sense. Its just not true.
-
Define worse. Probably worse in terms of CO2 emissions, but they do not pollute oceans with plastic. There are always tradeoffs and CO2 is the less important perspective in this case. However it is true that overwhelming majority of plastic pollution comes from Asian rivers.
-
Worse in ALL aspects, CO2, global warming, pollution and human healts. Both Danish and UK governments did those studies with same results.
-
More and more states (such as New York) are banning plastic bags, whilst a Danish study says organic cotton bags are way worse. There ought to be a middle ground somewhere, and in all honesty I don't have an answer on how this issue should be handled.
-
The price itself says whats worse. Extremely cheap thing simply must be much easier to produce and use less materials, which means less pollution. With some exceptions of course.
-
Are future costs included in the price?
-
Yes. Btw the higher price for the product prevents further improvements - thus more eco-friendly products are further delayed

Yeh ok so the environmental cost of the new strawless lids is greater... but think of how good it felt to say " i love the environment so much that i am willing to put myself through the discomfort of forgoing straw use. Because i am a better person than you" worth it imo. <3

it’s annoying that there is so much focus on this straw stuff - as if there aren’t 100,000 better things you could do to help the environment.
of course anything is good but.. they couldn’t try or promote anything else lol? -
Well they COULD spend some money lobbying for better integration of commercial and housing areas so that it would be more viable to walk or ride a bike for a larger part of the population, but that would make an actual difference instead of just giving people warm feefees.

Same with tote bags! Statistically you need to use 7000 times a tote bag instead of plastic bag to balance the environmental cost of production. Such blind hypocrisy

It's about people feeling they are helping save the environment, it's not actually about saving the environment.

We should ban plastics, and replace it with rubber. And we should have oil drums full of petrol instead of public waste bins. Then we could burn all of our rubbish, sending huge billowing smoke clouds into the sky like some post apocalyptical scene from Mad Max. I like Mad Max
