> people would rather feel nice about themselves

Is that really it, or do people get a power trip out of getting plastic straws banned?

Do you get a “power trip” when criminals go in prison? I know it’s a whole different level, but have you considered some people genuinely think that this is a bad thing (albeit a minor one IMO as the post explains) in our society?

Isn’t that basically the same thing? Power trip getting something banned for everyone ~= changing your own behavior and telling people about it
