This whole “plastic ban” is just a feeble and disgusting distraction from the orders of magnitude larger environmental issues facing humanity.

But since we apparently, absolutely need to continue to burn down the house we all live in, banning plastics is seemingly a great and democratic compromise on environmental issues.

Yes, plastics are bad, but it’s like plugging a single hole in one bathtub on the Titanic, which apparently large amounts of politicians across the western world feel is a great win.
