eco-theater

Something that is supposed to help the environment but actually is just to make consumers feel like they're doing SOMETHING and often causes more harm that help. Example - the plastic straw bans where straws make up 0.03% of ocean plastic pollution whereas commercial fishing nets make up 46% - but we ban straws which many disabled people need.

Straw bans are total eco-theater for ableist people.
