Just like the folks in BC who are complaining about high gas prices, it seems a good portion of people simply want to discuss how bad things are and how we should do something, until it comes to opening their wallets.
In the case of food waste and banning plastic straws, guess which should be the priority and which will actually be addressed because it costs less or is easier to do?

I believe that that climate decisions need to happen at the consumer level. The food waste question is one that happens in our own kitchens, and when we go shopping. I try not to worry to much about political choices as much as I worry about what I can control.
