Paper Straw Effect

When people design a flimsy straw to save the turtles, but ignore that paper straws cause much more pollution to make, defeating the purpose. This is the effect where people care more about looking eco-friendly rather than being eco-friendly and practical.
"Damn, they redid the packaging with green cardboard and wrapped it together with denim, it's soaked from the rain too"

Paper Straws

The worst thing on the planet. Every time you drink out of one it grinds your teeth and it feels like nails on a chalkboard if it was a feeling, you get these horrible chills. The turtles can die for all I care I hate paper straws.

Paper War

Noun. A subtle non-violent war that takes place on a civilian level in the name of economic advancement of a group of people who share likeness, usually on a corporate level.

1. I started my own business because I got sick of dealing with paper war's on the job.

2. Girl, I left (Job A) a month ago and found one that appreciated me because they kept starting paper war's talking to me any way then writing me up when I responded uncomfortable!
3. I looked at the top 100 people who worked at the company I was applying for and the only person who looked like me was the woman on the brochure, it's just giving me paper war energy!
Example: (Party A) is hiring and promoting mostly people who resemble them while simultaneously making work hard, uncomfortable, or difficult for (PartyXYZ) so they quit. This will allow (Party A) to get a hold of a business in a nice area and establish themselves away from all the chaos on their side of town. As a defense to keep unwanted hires out (Party A) will usual put (PartyXYZ) in the cooler area to push them to give up and quit, makes easy for Paper War to begin.
