    Think of it in scale. It’s not just you. It’s millions of people. Even if every household only used one bottle over one year that still would be tons of tons of (easily to avoid) waste. And of course it’s a lot more than one bottle a year.

            Yeah that’s a reasonable expectation. I’ll just start a massive study to see if people use so many straws that it outweighs every other use of plastic in their life. You’ve totally got me there. Congrats.

            Edit: That was sarcasm. The burden of proof that straws are the most impactful discarded plastic is on you, not on my skepticism of it.
