#where is that chart that shows all the reasons why plastic straws are used above wood and bamboo and metal etc etc

i hate every "environmentalist" ever who's blindly pushed non-plastic disposable cutlery above the needs of disabled people. i am now in a situation where i cannot use disposable cutlery or straws from anywhere local to me because it's a sensory nightmare amongst other literal fucking health reasons like straws dissolving in your drink, and there are other disabled people who will have similar or totally different issues with the cheap, poor, pourous, splintering, easily-breakable, shoddy, unmalleable, dissolving, dangerous, inaccessible materials companies have almost across the board chosen to use to replace plastic disposables.

disabled people have criticised the concepts proposed for non-plastic disposable implements for many years and they have not been listened to at all. if your environmental activism is ableist, i do not want it.
