Anyone remember the hole in the ozone layer? Yeah, we should apply that effort to state sized plastic ocean islands.
Do you use plastic straws?

Don't know how I've lived to be 58. One thing, I'm not a germaphobe.
I don't at home, but I try to as much as possible when drinking dark liquids. Helps to keep the teeth whiter.

Man, I remember how plastic bags were the new, best thing at supermarkets in the early-mid 80's, replacing paper bags and 'saving trees'. You would be an outcast if your chose paper bags over plastic back then...Society thought it would be paperless by the year 2000. Lol.
Acid rain, Brazilian rain forest destruction, and the ozone layer were big political issues as well at the time. Have those issues been solved, or have politicians just moved on to other 'issues' for votes, like 'global warming' and now the more generic 'climate change' every time one previous issue is denounced to be false?
Plastics are a big issue but infiltrate so much of daily life...restaurants focusing on straws is a joke, and just for political posturing.

Okay, I'll let you study my deal...gargle first....deal?
Humans have made great strides to reduce acid rain, deforestation and to restore the ozone layer in places where it’s been weakened. Things like the Clean Air and Water Act and the ban of CFC’s are a direct result to scientific studies that made the public aware of these issues. It’s good that these things happen. It may seem like it’s just fake outcry to you but really, policies are made because of that outcry and we’re all better off for it.
Now let's tackle the floating state.
A massive floating island of plastic between California and Hawaii is growing rapidly and is now three times the size of France, a new study finds. - Mar 23, 2018,

People are working on it. There’s a young entrepreneur named Boyan Slat who started a company called Ocean Cleanup. He’s also an inventor and is working the problem right now. I hope he succeeds.
Or the visors in their trucks....sign of weakness.
Haven't used the disposable plastic water bottles in over a decade.
Also don't drink soda or Gatorade out of plastic bottles.
No political motivation, no Save The Oceans visions, I just enjoy my drinks cold and with as little spit as possible.
The only single-use plastic I use is the cup/straw combo at Freddy's when I chocolate shake.
That's a shame. I eat with my fingers in every resturant. It's offending when others eat with plastic oilbased spoons.
plastic utensils? LoL, no.
What restaurant uses those?
(Do they have them at Freddy's? I only eat the burger/fries)
forgive me. i'm eating pb and icecream. waiting to hear from a friend on how's he doing.
sucks worrying

I hope that New York and California choke on plastic straws.
Plastic can and is recycled all the damned time. These folks are environmental terrorist. Screw them all.

You're into this touching guys' junk. Another reason not to go to Cally. If there is one, there must be more.

Sorry I chastised your boyfriend. You seem to stick up for him a lot, and run to his rescue. It’s cute. You don’t have to tell me where he touched you either, Trey. We already know.

I’ve really rustled you lately, you respond to everyone of my posts basically. Good stuff. Quit rod gazing/grabbing though, your old lady needs support.

That explains why you quote me constantly..
It must get monotonous, but carry on. Whatever blows your hair back, finds your lost remote, etc..

Wish I had hair to blow back...but thanks anyway.
With that said, seems like you quote me more. Feel free to do a tally. I'll accept your results..
If you two want to jerk each other off just exchange numbers.
