The Chinese and US militaries are amongst the largest polluters on the planet by a significant order of magnitude due to their fuel demands, and yet you want me to drink from a paper straw like I'm going to make a fucking difference.

The paper straws are to protect wildlife, not the climate

Yeah, but they constantly market it as some magical climate elixir and completely ignore that it only saves some animals from being in pain.
