    Banning plastic straws puts us in danger of unearned self-congratulation. Sure, ban them, but also protect the sea from trawler fishing, or figure out a renewable energy economy, or tax carbon enough to reduce emissions significantly | @CNNOpinionhttps://cnn.it/2D0NKvl

        Seriously, stop. Any progress is good progress. You know how hard it is to get people to take the first step? This whole attitude of 'if you can't fix it all at one time, then why bother' is completely destructive.

        This is what I have been thinking. Companies/people think they are doing good by not using a plastic straw when the whole cup and lid are made of plastic. Spitting in the wind.

        More plastic for the $60,000 hybrid cars - with 1,200lbs batteries that are effectively non-reusable toxic waste on wheels.

        Sure banning plastic straws is a very small step in the right direction, but we have to start somewhere. Now, move on to banning single use plastic bags, and so on and so on....eventually we will have done some good with the seemingly small changes we make now.
