I just watched the straw removal video and was going to make a comment. Unfortunately, you are rejecting comments, probably for obvious reasons. I'm rather sure that a great many people such as myself addressed the absurdity of damaging the everyday operations of restaurants and related businesses in the name of blaming straws in general for an exceedingly rare occasion. I would guesstimate that trillions of straws have been produced and used worldwide with zero harmful effect. You discovered an incredibly unlikely situation and decided to blame everyone on the planet who has used or will use a standard straw to drink a pop or some other less than healthy fluid that you (few) might decide we (billions) shouldn't enjoy. Before you dismiss me as some callous, uncaring person, I was moved by the suffering caused by the extraction of the object. Just not moved to irrationality.

[@ruiribeiro8010]

What's irrational isn't people using them, it's people being idiots and throwing them into the sea. Also plastic production in general has become a problem in terms of pollution, because people don't know how to handle their litter and instead throw it into nature like the absolute apes they are. She has all the rights to blame people here. This really isn't unlikely at all, many animals suffer from human pollution and actually, plastic is the issue in most of them, dude there are literal islands of trash accross the oceans of our planet.

[@hanitansully]

We simply don’t use plastic straws. We use paper straws because we love turtles

[@nassiglutt6587]

Just say it straight you're in the straw business. TBH we don't need straws. Using straws is unhealthy, they're just a waste😩

[@sundarchem01]

Why sister often using fuck word in other video, also u r connecting with Jesus Christ. Plz don't use that word (FUCK)

[@rohangaming5994]
