        Both things can be true at the same time.

        Billionaires / the 1% / whatever category of rich assholes you choose obviously use much more resources than “the common man”. Still, if we, as humanity, do not change how and what we consume, cutting what the rich use would not even remotely be enough.

        But it’s so much easier to ban straws than to make fishing companies responsible for their waste and destruction!
