re: straw ban
if your environmentalism works at the expense of people's welfare, it's not sustainable.
Disabled people rely on plastic straws and denying access to them will do more harm than good.
The straw ban also restricts disabled peoples access to public places, forcing us to stay isolated which is what we’ve ALWAYS fought against.
If you are wondering what disabled people did before plastic straws, the answer is: aspirated liquids into their lungs, got pneumonia and died!
Quit putting the onus on Disabled people when it comes to the environment, we shouldn’t have to defend our rights to accessibility and to exist.
