I see a lot of people who share your opinion. I used to work rehabbing sea turtles and EVERY turtle we received alive or dead had straws/bags in their gut. It might not seem super important but those products look more like jellyfish and turtles have poor eyesight.
The nets commercial fishing boats make the most plastic waste by a lot but declining a plastic straw and bringing your own bag to shop WILL save a life.
Yes let’s let assholes poison our views of innocuous hobbies. That will show them. /s
We shouldn’t reinforce their echo chamber. Better to just do whatever makes you happy and deal with the assholes as they reveal themselves.
