What fallacy is this?

What kind of fallacy is this?

Person 1 claims that paper straws are better for the environment as opposed to plastic ones.
Person 2 claims like the 6 plastic solo cups or the styrofoam to-go box is okay... but we are “going green” with paper straws. It’s a joke

Reason: Books I & II

This book is based on the first five years of The Dr. Bo Show, where Bo takes a critical thinking-, reason-, and science-based approach to issues that matter with the goal of educating and entertaining. Every chapter in the book explores a different aspect of reason by using a real-world issue or example.

Part one is about how science works even when the public thinks it doesn't. Part two will certainly ruffle some feathers by offering a reason- and science-based perspective on issues where political correctness has gone awry. Part three provides some data-driven advice for your health and well-being. Part four looks at human behavior and how we can better navigate our social worlds. In part five we put on our skeptical goggles and critically examine a few commonly-held beliefs. In the final section, we look at a few ways how we all can make the world a better place.

Not a fallacy at all. Just b/c you can't solve the whole problem doesn't mean you shouldn't solve part of it.

He's basically attacking his "morality" instead of his argument. A variation of Ad Fidentia
