Explanation: Should NZ ban plastic?

65,000 thousand plastic straws have been collected for over 10 years in New Zealand beaches. Did you also know that there about 437 million - 8.3 billion plastic straws in the Ocean. Hi my name is Aung Naing and I think that we should ban plastic straws. Plastic straws are a harm to sea creatures. Its unusual why people throw away plastic straws.

My reason for talking about this is because there are so many plastic straws that are made every day. I feel like we need to change our actions because there are a lot of plastic straws that have been thrown on the ground every single day. After you finish throwing your plastic straw on the ground it could go out to sea and letting the sea turtle eating it or getting it stuck up their nose.

We should remove plastic straws and add paper straws or use other material instead of plastic. It is because paper straw can dissolve but plastic straw are harder to dissolve or break down, it is because it takes 500 year to break down. There are different materials we can use like metal, you can carry it with you and you can keep reusing it, but plastic straws are not that useful, it is because it can bend easily.

Did you know that there are about 500 million plastic straws are used every single day. Wow! I think that there are a lot of plastic straws that are used every day. Well some shops are to be blamed, Mc Donald, Burger King and KFC sell free Plastic Straws.

This is why I would not suck, it is because it is harming the marine animals, out of curiosity, have you ever seen people taking a plastic straw out of a sea turtle nose before.
