    A. You have just made a positive assertion that is easily proven and presented no studies, I’m waiting.

    B. we absolutely cannot walk and chew gum at the same time attention is the modern currency.

    C. Removing plastic straws did not reduce plastic manufacturing and it wasn’t supposed to reduce the manufacturing of plastic.

    D. I honestly don’t know what your point had to do with mine? Something about it be political? My point was that it’s simply a way for oil companies and heavy plastic users to reframe it as the every mans problem you know the people who can not stop it.

      A, Jfc, it’s 2025. Use a search engine. Even use AI ffs, “why is plastic bad for humans and the environment?” Do you think the earth is flat, too?

      B, you can’t, we can.

      C, I guess if it’s not all or nothing, there’s no point eh?

      D, yes, morons are very susceptible to “the war on <thing>” and make it their entire personality.

      We need to use less disposable plastic products. Look at the ocean, it’s filling with our trash. Most of that is plastic.

      The fact that you can’t walk and chew gum because you lose focus makes me wonder of you need to stop to breath. It definitely seems you were oxygen deprived for extended periods of time.

      I don’t expect you to understand that.

      A) https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/24/15/12308

      That took me less than 10 minutes of digging. I’m sure if I spent another 10 minutes on it I could find five more studies.

      This all of course is assuming that you are arguing in good faith. My guess is that you’re not considering you put out such a bold claim when there’s substantial evidence that that claim was inaccurate.
