Environmental Straw Intellectual

I use a paper straw for the Environment That feels trash In my mouth I use a $20 Metal straw For the Environment Me, an intellectual

A three-panel meme shows paper straws being rejected because they feel unpleasant, followed by expensive metal straws supposedly chosen for environmental reasons, and a man smugly drinking from a glass. The joke mocks performative environmentalism and self-congratulatory consumer choices. It is used as a sarcastic reaction to someone presenting an obvious preference or luxury purchase as an intellectual or ethical decision.
