why plastic straws should be banned
By Lillian
OrumSlide2
Reason 1. Keep our earth clean!
You will live on this earth for the rest of your life
s
o you want it to be clean and healthy. But when you use disposable
p
lastic straws and other plastics such as bottles and bags, they end up in our oceans causing
p
ollution and marine mammals to ingest this plastic, and even die.
You call that healthy? Slide3
You might be thinking, why plastic straws? Well the reason that I have decided on plastic straws specifically, is because I realized that I have to start somewhere and I can’t ban all plastic
objetcts
. So I thought I would start with something that was especially harmful to our planet… Plastic straws. Slide4
Every day 500,000,000 plastic straws are produced
a
nd sadly, most of them end up in our oceans. These
s
traws are apart of millions of trash that cause about 100,000
marine mammals to ingest plastic. Slide5
Reason 2. Animal population is decreasing
Sadly the pollution of plastic straws and other debris doesn't just make our oceans unclean, it also makes them unsafe. Because of this pollution, our marine animals are being threatened.
