    environmentalists are still blaming me and the plastic straw I used last week

    Do they really? Are these people here in this room? I know literally 0 environmentalist that would blame you for the plastic straw.

      And there’s a difference between “HOW DARE YOU USE A PLASTIC STRAW, YOU EVIL FILTH??” which is what this person probably hears though the filter of their own subconscious guilt and insecurity, versus “Hey folks, we should really consider whether we actually need all these plastic straws, because even the little improvements in our consumption habits can add up to valuable impacts,” which is what’s actually being said.
