If you're going to be motivated by guilt then I'd say the real climate sin is not if you buy plastic straws, it lies in when we refuse to examine and acknowledge all the ways we could be powerful, socially and politically, to make a change.
It's a sin because you're living in what Simone de Beauvoir would call 'bad faith'. You're being untrue to yourself and to the reality of the crisis because you're allowing yourself to be gaslighted.
