The hysteria about this issue is unwarranted basically.
Yes we should be good stewards of the earth, but lets address real issues and not ones being used to promote certain agendas.
the "500 million straws a day statistic" is invented, and partly because the United States as a whole contributes very, very little to the plastic waste problem. About 60% of the plastic in the Ocean comes from five Asian countries: China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Thailand. Indonesia's Citarum River, the most polluted river on Earth, is essentially a massive trash heap on a giant aquatic conveyor belt. Every day, 20,000 tons of waste and 340,000 tons of wastewater are dumped into it and then ferried to the ocean. In places like Vietnam, plastic in the water is the least of anyone's concerns. Raw sewage is discharged directly into water ways, turning the rivers toxic.
