Since two of my posts have been removed from this thread I will try to carefully avoid having that happen again.
The point of both of the removed post and this one is this. Some people believe that only they have the right answers. And doing things the way they are doing things will contribute to save the planet. There are many ways to save the planet and cut down on waste.
Actually, using rags instead of paper towels, and rewearing clothes that are not the latest style and saving your money and not buying things you don't need and taking good care of what you own are all ways of saving money, and energy and supplies. Like Polar Bear, many of us dislike being looked on by others who feel superior.
I will make the point again. Even doing all virtuous things is not going to reverse climate change and global warming. That is the argument. At this time we can frown at plastic straws, while we continue to pick up the paper in it's plastic slip. We can smugly drive our electric carts and continue to hire someone to cut our grass with gas engines. We can blame others and pontificate about doing our little bit. We can do our little bits, all of us, should do our little bits, all of us and it won't change anything about global warming. Mankind is not going to shut off it's gas engines. We may very well perish, or we may likely find another planet to live on in the future, to save, or ruin.
