    I think that something like 70% of microplastic comes from car tires, our paper straws will not help with that issue.

    I also think that plastic by itself is the least of a problem we have. As I understand it is just ugly on the landfill.

    What is the problem is organic waste in plastic bags, with which we could be making compost but instead it is creating methane and increasing global warming.

    Single use plastic is bad, but we do have other fronts that are easier to win.
