Plastic straws strewn in a natural setting feels a lot worse than sand. I can't tell you exactly why, but I still think that "don't throw plastic around" is a good starting place for a discussion and I don't think it's productive to argue that point.

maybe what feels good or bad to people in a natural setting is not actually a useful measurement of what affects the well-being of nature

maybe the actual health of the motherfucking ecosystem matters more than what looks nice on a postcard

common sense is what tells you the world is flat, chemotherapy is bad for you, and lead paint and sassafras are good to eat
