zoologicallyobsessed:blackqueerblog:being aware of the impact of things we can often not think about (like straws) is important if we’re to make strides on environmental preservation that does not eclipse the importance of being aware of how it impacts disabled people. they’re both conversations we need to haveand on top of this ableism, banning plastic straws won’t do shit for the environment because straws aren’t even close to being the main cause of plastics pollution. Calling for a ban on straws is the same bs of shifting the blame of pollution onto the general public when its massive corporations, businesses and governments as a result of capitalism that is to blame. Disabled people shouldn’t have to be thrown under the bus so you can feel better about the environment without having to do actually do anything of worth. -- source link
