Outside of drinking maybe milkshakes and other thick frozen drinks, do you believe that the use of straws are pointless and overall harmful to the environment. (exploding-heads.com)

I forget where I went but I ordered an iced coffee and I received what was essentially a sippy cup. My initial reaction was what the fuck is this I’m not a child. But quickly i realized the significance of eliminating the straw. Aside from straws. What are some other areas where you think plastics can be eliminated?

I mostly drink water, tea, beer, or booze. Straws look kinda gay for the last two. For the first I usually drink directly out of the cup, water bottle, or sports bottle.

Legos. Those mfs hurt like hell when you step on them

But on a more serious note, I think we just need to go back to the 3 R's but focus more on the reduce and reuse. Too many lazy fucks and consoomer cucks that want to just keep consooming and maybe recycle.

If you buy a decent sports bottle and refill it yourself, IMO you're doing way better than someone who buys disposable water bottles and throws away/recycle them. Not hating on those folks - I get it. Out in the field working your ass off, you just want water and the other details ain't that important. Just saying more for people that do want to do something about it, people need to push back against the "ick mentality" and consoomerism and just use common sense
