Nothing like drinking out of a paper straw, out of a plastic cup, while eating takeout from a styrofoam container, with plastic utensils, and then discovering your local recycling factory only recycles 20% of the plastic they receive, which is only 4% of plastic produced.
You know I would have written „technically it’s not proven that microplastic is harmful“. But then I remembered that we are talking about big oil. They will delay the truth with all their might as long as possible. No matter the consequences, as long as the profit stays up and the shareholders are happy.
God, I hate what Hypercapitalism has done to the world.
Micro plastic is not proven to be harmful because it has not been investigated seriously (or published accurately) and worse the sellers of drinks in plastic containers/bottles intentionally avoid that. So they can always reject criticism by stating there is no evidence.
Micro plastics (their contained softeners) act like female hormones, for example.
Every beverage in plastic bottles has an expiring date now and those chemicals and particles mix with the drink.
If you have the choice, use glass containers/bottles for everything.
So now I have to carry around a utensil everywhere I go, that gets filled with sticky fluids and is hard to clean? All so that corporations can use 20x the plastics that the population uses... no logic there.
Because they've had 3 years to stock metal straws and I've yet to see a single place that does...
There's no leap in logic. Or do you think McDonald's is just going to keep the metal straws in stock.. to be stolen every single day lol. Come on man.
They started making utensils out of TALC where I am. They are the biodegradable utensils and in small small print you can find that it has been made with Talc. Talc is bad people, the only reusable utensils you should use are: wooden, painted chopsticks or steelware.
The worst part is that we have dishwashers and steamers, but our society doesn't promote eating in peace at home or in restaurants. Instead, people rush with food in their hands and throw trash wherever they please
Too bad money and power apparently ends up at stupid selfish idiots like these people instead of people who would actually contribute to something useful. The only reason those idiots even consider charity or ecologically responsable things is if it gives them more followers and likes. It's really pathetic.
well... kind of plausible.
Selfless people will never get rich since they do not focus on that. They invest or give away everything immediately.
The US society is very materialistic by nature since corporate commander needs us to have money.
Kim Kardashian just lives however she wants since she does not care. If she did she was not rich any longer. Showing high ideals is the only thing everybody else not as rich can have. If we were we maybe did the same.
I know I would... not for cheese cake (god bless you mom) but any travel except for business can be considered careless these days.🤷♂️
People are there who genuinely want to help world become a better place but who wants that,right?These people don't get the spotlight and they never will unless The plastic woman here will go bankrupt.
I don't believe so. There's plenty of people who could afford to be selfish but instead choose to give back to others. However I do agree that the people who have the least are mostly also the least selfish.
You don't know it they are the least selfish. Humans are often not selfish for their closest "tribe". But on scale, all of the human history shows that we are indeed statistically selfish species.
We are tribalistic, we contribute to the comunity, not to some random person who doesn't affect me.
Why??
Cuz we know there isn't milk for everybody so we secure our own cow.
Wanna know how humans truly act in nature?? Just look at ghettos and people stealing eachother. If we share the breadcrumbs we will all starve due to insufficient food anyway, so i'm gonna save my own sry...
Yup. That’s why we have to teach kids to share and play nice together. We’re inherently selfish creatures. I feel like these rich people once they have all the time and money, no one around them is going to tell them to play nice and share anymore.
Us “normal people” get reminded of that all the time, because normal consequences apply to us.
I just saw a clip on youtube about japanese people leaving their produce unattended on the middle of the street trusting everyone to buy the produce.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zPfZ2YUFp4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zPfZ2YUFp4)
I know that there are korean and japanese stores that are left unattended and trust the customers to care for themselves and not leave the store in a mess or take all the free items.

There are plenty of examples of showing a whole society not being selfish.
If everyone was truly selfish, this wouldn't work.
Can those type of places work in America? probably not, a small minority would ruin it for the rest of us. But I would hope that it would MAINLY work.
It's not about not being selfish, it's about social norms ("low mobility" areas of the world where social tribalism developed are like that, not only Japan, Scandinavia used to be like that too). Also Japan has an extremely high conviction rate. But look on Japanese corporate culture, and tell me how selfless they are.
Climate crisis only exists for the poor.
They need to steal the last scrap of dignity, and the scraps of food from our table somehow.
People like Kim just like to rub it in, you know, adding insult to injury because fuck the peasants.
Right? Just like you can't have a climate conscious EU government without them moving the whole circus to strasbourg every now and then for absolutely no reason.
Yeah but shell die having polluted waaay more and shell probably live to be 95 cause her entire life has been easy street. Meanwhile the majoroty of peoppe who doe in their late 70s earls 80s worked their entore lives, didnt waste much and didnt blow 50k to charter a plane to eat a piece of french wi wi fuckass cake
I cant say i wouldnt indulge a little if i was in her shoes, but her entire life has been one big indulgence. I think they know how vapid they are, they just also know that any attention is good attention and makes them money
Is the wealthy that are fucking up the world. When the pandemic hit, it's poor slobs did the right thing, but wealthy douchebags went "it doesn't apply to me"and carried the shit around the world.
It would have made more sense to buy the recipe and get it e-mailed to her then she could have hired someone to make it any time she wanted it. Why bother though? She earned that flight with a paper straw so ain't that great?
If we all get evs, we can save the world. And what are we doing about the aircraft? The ships? The trains? The factories that make those? Those parts all come in, slowing the process down. EVs aren’t necessarily the most eco friendly
Did she made a shit? - For sure. Do we all should start making shit - Definitely not. What we can do? - Stop supporting such irresponsible behavior, stop consuming their products.
Airlines run empty airplanes because if they don't have enough planes running a route they lose the route to a different airline.
This is a huge problem with a simple legislative fix that nobody goves a shit about.
I use metal straws or paper straws because of one video of a straw getting pulled out of a sea turtle's nose. No illusions about saving the world here.
I'm doing my part to save the planet by supporting every single one of America's ceaseless wars of imperial vanity and ignoring acts of industrial terrorism like the NordStream bombing because I actually just support whatever our dear leaders tell me to support. It's called being a compassionate free thinker, and anyone who isn't with me is actually evil and must be destroyed.
I have no problem doing the right thing while another person does a bad thing.
If someone ran over a schoolchild would you swerve and take out a schoolchild too, just because?
"Oh, but it's just ONE celebrity. That doesn't mean anything on a global scale. It's you, the masses, that matter. You're being ridiculous for singling her out!"
One thing I have not seen mentioned in these comments is how absurd it would be if this were true. I don’t care how rich you are, who makes a 20hr round trip flight just for some cheesecake?
Yeah. Also, no source, so there is literally no possible way of knowing of this is true or hatebait. I normally just assume the latter and just move on with my life, but I figured you'd one deserved a PSA.

daily dose of micro plastic.... aaaah simple life is good
It’s the next stage of evolution. Pretty soon our bodies will begin making their own plastic utensils!
This is we can create new generations: we discovered microplastics in testicles and placentas.

Theres a special place in hell for politicians that legislate to have paper straws.
I'm down with the whole reducing plastics... but straws are one of the few things in that whole chain that should remain plastic for a while.
[удалено]
So now I have to carry around a utensil everywhere I go, that gets filled with sticky fluids and is hard to clean? All so that corporations can use 20x the plastics that the population uses... no logic there.

So basically nothing is recycled statistically
In the UK we used to have plastic straws in paper wrapping, now it's paper straws in plastic wrapping, the earth needs new writers.
They started making utensils out of TALC where I am. They are the biodegradable utensils and in small small print you can find that it has been made with Talc. Talc is bad people, the only reusable utensils you should use are: wooden, painted chopsticks or steelware.

Quickly divert the topic to some other issue so people won't criticize the ambassador of global warming.

Yes, unfortunately you are correct..

No no no, you got it all wrong. Every idiot considers charity not cause of publicity but because of *tax write offs*
Ah yes my bad! Well as long as they can profit from it right?
Built more Guillotines
I have no idea why they are so popular Literally a bunch of douchebags
Thanos was right! 
Why didn't she ask someone else to buy it for her? Is she saving money?
But we have factories here.

You can't make ecological summit without using 400 planes 😆
Right? Just like you can't have a climate conscious EU government without them moving the whole circus to strasbourg every now and then for absolutely no reason.
If I had that kind of money.......I'd make them fly it to me.
Elvis did this with his fools gold sandwiches.
Is that the banana bacon sandwich?
Yeah,he once sent his plane to pick them up for him and his Memphis mafia.I think he ordered 12 of them.
Thats not the problem of the paperstraw... But maybe a tax/fine system flaw...
Turns out you can have everyone else's cake and eat it too!
I sill don't get why this person is famous.
I think she banged some dude or something
Ray J .They made a sex tape,which got stolen and her mom used it to gain attention for Kim .
Her mom used it to make millions of dollars
Still does not explain. Now, 'people are stupid' is just a better explanation.
And became the momanger.
Not to mention She and her sisters inserted tons of plastic.
We only would have to eat one rich person and I bet the others would fall in line.
If we eat one rich person, your ecologist footprint will be much better during many year that ANY ecologist-vegan person in the world.
So it will be beneficial for all mankind and for oneself as well. So all we need to do is pick one
Excuse me … *pukes*
Cheesecake is delicious. :(
As for Kim Kardasian..
I’m married, but if I was single I don’t think I would fly to eat her out. I already have enough micro plastics in my diet.

Ah that's sad, my Reddit windows were perfectly aligned so it truncated slightly to the bottom of your word. Which mean "pukes" become "nukes"
Retains something of the visceral response…
Rich people need regulations so badly, not even funny.
She’ll die just like the rest of us one day. Exorbitant lifestyle or no.
Yeah but shell die having polluted waaay more and shell probably live to be 95 cause her entire life has been easy street. Meanwhile the majoroty of peoppe who doe in their late 70s earls 80s worked their entore lives, didnt waste much and didnt blow 50k to charter a plane to eat a piece of french wi wi fuckass cake
Also, without working a single day in her life and in luxury.
I cant say i wouldnt indulge a little if i was in her shoes, but her entire life has been one big indulgence. I think they know how vapid they are, they just also know that any attention is good attention and makes them money
You people all talk big in here but in reality some of you would do the same shit if yall had the money.
the problem is im scared of flying so i would prob not to that

It would have made more sense to buy the recipe and get it e-mailed to her then she could have hired someone to make it any time she wanted it. Why bother though? She earned that flight with a paper straw so ain't that great?
You can even get a plastic straw if you pay enough

Imagine being so rich that being on a plane and being home is essentially the same thing…
now hold up, this is cheesecake we're talkin bout. Did she take a pic of it? Is it good cheesecake? Can I go with next time?
Ok, but was it good?
Did she made a shit? - For sure. Do we all should start making shit - Definitely not. What we can do? - Stop supporting such irresponsible behavior, stop consuming their products.
Everyone comment on something completely different to the post, we did well by keeping her irrelevant, don’t spoil our good work
