    But keep using your wooden straws, folks. Remember that Reduce Reuse Recycle was created by the plastics manufacturing industry in the 1970s to subtly shift ownership onto the consumer. And by god did it ever work!!

      The issue is disposable plastic. Like coke bottles. And all the dumb little packaging crap that comes with everything. All that cheap plastic crap. Why can’t it be cheap paper crap? I wish my online orders came in reusable canisters.

    Is it not people doing that? Why single out coca cola? If they stopped existing tomorrow, it would just be another brand of soda that people were mindlessly littering.

      The company makes the plastic bottles, which don’t need to be plastic, and then uses marketing to promote consumption. The people are not to blame for being exploited by the scheme of the corporations. If this company stopped existing tomorrow, I’m sure people would consume less just from the lack of advertisement.
