Sometimes doing nothing is better than doing the wrong thing. You're wasting time and money and not solving any problem in the process.

You also have a nice distraction while the actual source of the problem is getting worse.

UK has banned plastic straws in 2020 and guess what. Nothing has changed. We're still drowning in plastic. UK doesn't dump plastic waste in the ocean so the straws you see on the beaches aren't from here anyway. Never were. No problem was solved
