Everyone has seen that terribly sad video of the turtle found with a straw stuck in its nose. I don't consider myself an extremist when it comes to being environmentally friendly, but I do my part. Here's some dumb sh*t that must contain plastic, but really doesn't have to.
1. Coconuts
If only coconuts had a protective covering that wouldn't need plastic. Oh, wait...
2. Straws
Paper straws, cardboard straws, bamboo straws. ANYTHING that is biodegradable is better than this. Why can't we just drink straight from the cup at this point?
3. A Christmas Tree
Listen, I like that time of year as much as the next person, but what the hell is the point of this? You already hurt the environment by cutting down this tree, now you're doing it again.
4. Fake Christmas Trees
For some reason, I'm not as mad as the real tree wrapped in plastic. Just please tell me you'll be reusing this every year because plastic doesn't die in a few days.
6. A Couch
I get it, you don't want stains, but they make chemicals for that (which come in their own plastic bottles, might I add) so honestly I don't understand.
7. Bags
Stores located where I live have begun to charge a nickel for every plastic bag they give out now, which encourages people to bring reusable bags. I hope every store considers doing this now.
8. Balls

It's fun for kids, but not for a defenseless creature. We have "Fortnite" and slime, we don't need this as well.
11. Boxes or Crates
There is nothing manly about this, @manlyplastics smh
I know this is all really upsetting. Thankfully there are people who do things like this, and this, and this.
