    Many of the people on the ground are willing to listen and do what they can.

    So let’s talk about it with the capitalists and the only options they put out in order to wreck the environment for $$. The real culprits creating mass production of plastic, unwilling to do anything unless it involves a far more expensive legal case than any one individual who’s willing to take a paper straw could afford.

    Then talk about discomfort.

      This is why you talk to people - ordinary people - and convince them to (1) buy less plastic garbage (2) vote for restrictions on plastic garbage.

      And then the people you talk to talk to other people and convince them.

      And then those other people talk to still other people.

      And eventually you have a critical mass. And politicians listen to them when they demand changes in the laws. And corporations have less money because enough people are boycotting their products so it’s harder for them to hire lobbyists and bribe politicians.

      And all this starts with you talking to people.

      Yes it is the people who make the things we demand not at all the people who demand endless stuff.

      Of course you think you’re blameless, just like everyone else does.
