You could always not buy their completely non essential products, but suggesting that rarely gets a good reception from the “obsessively whining about straws” crows.
If everybody individually behaved correctly, we wouldn’t need any laws.
But as the entire human history has shown us, that is not the case. Which is why societies have passed laws even before recorded history.
Banning straws (generally, single-use plastics) as well as non-attached bottlecaps is the most effective way to keep EU beaches clean. They had a look at what’s out there and those were the big offenders that could be addressed so they’re doing it.
…also the only bad thing about those silicone straws I bought is that they’re too short for bottles. It really is the ideal material for the application.
Is that coal power plant producing plastic waste or are you perhaps talking about an entirely different problem that need to be addressed by separate legislation?
Don’t worry about these big guys. The straws are gonna save the planet.

Oh yay, blame the consumers not the ones making the trash, worked so well the past 50 years
Nah consume consume consume, shirk blame
Actively reject education, then refuse any blame. That sounds like the best plan!!

I’ve been trying this for decades, but it hasn’t put a dent in the global growth of waste.
Said no one ever.
People so mad about straws act like you cannot possibly work against a problem in more than a single way.
The problem is we are not trying multiple ways. We only try the ineffective ones to avoid trying the effective ones.

Yeah, the beach nearest to me just had a coal power plant reactivated last year. Nothing we can do about that though.
