I overheard a coworker complaining to my manager about how our biodegradable straws at the Starbucks in our hotel get soggy too quickly. He said he would go out and buy plastic straws instead of ordering from Starbucks. I didn't say anything at the time but waited until I was alone with my manager before suggesting we try a different brand of paper straws instead of buying plastic ones, since they are so bad for the ocean. He said he did not care what happened to the ocean, and by the time the whole world goes to s**t he will be long dead. I asked him what he thought about the people who will still be alive and he still didn't care. I certainly don't live a perfect lifestyle, but at least I'm conflicted about it. I don't get it.
