Use paper straws? That's dumb. Just don't use straws at all is what I do and it's a much better solution.
I think you misunderstood them. Quelle Surprise.What do you guys think about the latest numbers being that we have 14 months to live?

Why do you think you only have 14 months to live?What do you guys think about the latest numbers being that we have 14 months to live?
I will say the amount of plastic waste in China makes the idea of recycling in the USA pointless. They produce so much plastic waste and packaging here in China.
It does make me laugh that the Starbucks here in Beijing don't give you a straw these days. Like, really? You just gave me my coffee in a plastic cup, in a plastic bag. But no straw, lol. Plus literally 24 million people every hour on the hour order a drink here at work that comes in some fancy plastic cup with a huge straw, in 2 plastic bags.
Well, the first thing I think is I ask myself what does @Heathme gain by lying, by misrepresenting what's being said? I'm mean I'm sure you know that nobody ever said "14 months to live". And you know that, I believe. BTW, it was 18 months, not 14. You're cheating me out of 4 precious months! Haha. C'mon. You're entitled to believe what you want, without mistating things simply to satisfy your desire to produce dramatic effect:
Also of interest here is the number of species going extinct as we apparently enter the Earth's 6th major known extinction event. I just doubt that it will include us, as your silly and meaningless statement suggests. But, you do you....
I did see that figure when you posted it earlier, knew it was not 14 months that had been cited, but I ignored it. Now, people can read the correct info above if the choose.
I've been keeping up with other environmental news. One of my biggest concerns is the president of Brazil's goal of clearcutting the entire portion of the Amazon within his borders, which is 80%. Concerned not just for what doing something that insane will do to CO2 levels, but also because of his apparent goal to eradicate every "Stone Age" tribe living in that Amazon. I don't believe he has the right to simply wipe out every single uncontacted tribe in the Amazon.

Since global warming is having its greatest effect in the Arctic latitudes, it is concerning that the Greenland ice sheet is experiencing one of its greatest melt years, as the European heat wave now moves over Greenland:

Finally, something very few Americans have paid any attention to is the damage being done by Andrew Wheeler at the EPA. Here are 10 ways his decisions are/will affect the health of Americans, placing fossil fuel profits above real health issues at every single turn:

But, back to your claim "14 months to live", I refuse to believe you can possibly be that stupid. You're stating that for dramatic affect. So, not only do you rely on fossil fuel industry-paid science lackeys for your "science", but you twist the actual findings just to create a "clever"(???) misstatement. Beats the hell out of me as to why you feel the need to do that....
