I'm doubtful of the claims you make, but I don't have better insights to counter (most of) it.

But going straight to the dump itself is already a win. Then it won't end up in the environment and oceans and (severely) affecting life everywhere and ending up in our food chain.
That is *quite* a big win already.

I applaud you for using glass straws. 👍
We should reduce the production of plastics (drastically) and a great way to do that is decreasing the demand.

I only know that plastics are made from oil. But I have a hard time believing that it would have *no* impact (at all).

Plastic production is still production with its own emissions (f.e.) and the result, plastic, is FAR more harmful then most people (seem to) realize.
It's really bad for the environment and affects/infects the whole food chain and thereby also ends up in human bodies.

Also, I'm fine with keeping (more) fossil fuels in the ground ;-)
