I doubt thats actually true considering the energy and resources involved in oil refinement and transportation that results in the byproducts used to create most industrial plastics So, transportation is a pretty moot argument because you still gotta move the wood and the paper. Changing the source and the destination, unless it's pretty significant. The straws are still going to sit in a warehouse and then go to McDonalds or whatever. As for the energy argument, here's the most bias-free thing I could find that wasn't literally plastics.americanchemistry.com: https://www.appropedia.org/HSU_straw_analysis And here's a convent chart: https://www.appropedia.org/images/c/c6/LastStraw_BuybackEE.PNG I do agree though on waste byproduct though, plastics are completely awful. My argument is that it's not a simple X Bad, Remove X that everyone thinks. --- ImmortalityV, "I would like to kiss Icoyar to be honest in a non gay way though" ... Copied to Clipboard! |
