Excellent, and in my view captures what may well turn out to be the greatest civilisational risk that we’re facing, as we collectively implement “1984”.
I am struggling with the message of the straw story and your impression of it. Putting aside whether we use 500 million or 170 million a day and regardless of what % that makes up of the oceanic plastics problem the story feels like a cheap attempt to undermine a noble effort to reduce/remove these useless, single-use plastic elements from our world. I'm reminded of the Starfish Story every time I hear folks rail against small steps for mankind.
