No. There was never any serious justification for that beyond virtue signalling.

Makes sense that a country that consists of 8000 islands would have a lot of plastic going into the ocean.

Don't take that graph seriously. The US and the rest of the first world exports a large amount of our plastic waste to China and the phillipines for "recycling". A large amount of what they're expelling is from us.

we pay them to dispose of it responsibly and they take the cash and throw it in the ocean.

Attribution is made by examining representative samples of plastic in the ocean to find clues as to its origin. Unless those countries are bleaching the recycling they take in from the first world and reprinting local text on them, the map is correct to the limit allowed by the sampling.

Aus fren here, my state has banned not only plastic straws but plastic cutlery as well. It’s impossible to drink a slurpee/ slushy drink without the paper straw giving out half way.

It would be better and far easier if most people switched to a vegetarian diet for the environment than banning plastic straws.

It was just the video of a turtle with a straw in its nose that spread of social media that caused a backlash and made people want to quit using them. Companies responded to this quickly since it was a quick way to make it look like their receptive to their environmental impact while actually doing nothing and still offering straws to people who want them.

Yeah, because recycling everything is fucking hard. A few years back China announced that they were no longer taking foreign plastics for recycling because it was losing money and a waste, and municipalities in the US were freaking out because of it because they couldn't just pawn the problem off on other people.

Not a meme. They tell others your social class.
>Homeless and gangsters missing teeth
>Poor people have yellowed teeth
>Middle class have whitened teeth
>Rich people have whitened and filed teeth
It's an easy way for rich people to filter people by a simple photograph. And if you're not smiling, you're hiding your social class likely due to embarrassment (poor working class).
