Which are basically controlled by the corporations. My point is that there are many people who want to do more and several groups trying to make it happen. They aren’t up against an easy fight. So when a small win happens like plastic straw bans, maybe we can want more without dismissing it as bullshit.
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.
I’m sure that something could be done, but it surely isn’t going to help with beach littering. Even if some coal ends up on the beach that’s really not an issue.
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?
The problem is we are not trying multiple ways. We only try the ineffective ones to avoid trying the effective ones.
And by “we” you mean actually “corporations”? Of course they aren’t willing to blame and fine themselves for saving money.
By “we” I mean the governments we elect.

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