I’m in NYC where we similarly have dumb anti-plastic laws that are more political than actually for the environment.

Oh the straws are paper now? All right, I’m gonna take 5 then because I’ll need to swap it out around every 5 min.

At the grocery store? Everything needs to be double or triple bagged so it doesn’t fall apart. Are that many paper bags (trees) even encmvironmentaly friendly? NYC is a walking city, and I vividly remember someone once walking with a paper grocery bag, and then everything falling out onto the sidewalk as the bag broke during a light drizzle.
