Plastic is a dilemma



It is hard to ignore the fact that more and more places are cutting down on the use of plastic straws and encouraging people to use glass/stainless steel straws to "save the environment".

I have nothing against that... but I am quite aware that people are advocating the use of plastic (e.g. polyester, microfiber) in their clothing instead of fur/leather... so... how is this helping the environment???

Do we realize how much of that microfiber gets washed away with each wash? isn't that more damaging to the environment?

also... plastic straws are still widely used in Japan... if it weren't for social media, I wouldn't have heard about glass/stainless steel straws.
