1/ I'd love to study how the straw thing happened. Seems like an environmentalist own goal so I have to assume it was a social accident. Like, I keep picturing an entire conference of scientists yelling, "no no focus on this not that!" as trend-setters brainstormed fun messaging.
2/ @Lollardfish wrote about the costs to disabled consumers in this article for the @pacificstand. He connected a bunch of dots in it that a social scientist could use to start tracing the whole thing.
(I hope someone does so!)
