Why are we banning straws? What is it harming? Why Straws? So many questions pop into our heads when someone says “banning plastic straws”. The most important question is why are we saving our Marine animal as well as our earth. Earlier this year {2019} people of New Zealand have been trying to ban plastic bags yet still more plastic is flying,breaking down and polluting in our world. Would you save our sea animals? When people use plastic straws they are really being careless about their actions.
Have you ever thought about half of the world being a dumping waste. No so why are you trying to create one. Our world can be sacred to all people, a place called home, a place people created history, memories and love. If we don’t ban plastic straws we could be endangering our sea animals. Turtles could be harmed by having a straw pushed into their nostrils. If we stop using plastic straws then this can give marine animals a chance to breed which increases sea life. Thousands of animals experience the pain of having a single plastic straw in their system, stopping their ability to digest and more.
Plastic straws could cause pollution and harm our ocean. Did you know that according to google. about 65,000 straws have been found on our New Zealand beaches. Banning plastic straws will decrease the amount of straws over the years which gives our sea animals a chance to live their lives. Also, metal straws are currently being sold around the world and this means you can reuse them for quite a long time, meaning you don’t harm the environment as much.
We have tried to make our world a better place by banning plastic bags yet we are forgetting about these harmful straws. Yes drinking our delicious drink with a straw would make our life easy but think about the world,people and animals I’m pretty sure we are all capable of drinking without a plastic straw. Doing some research I found out that according to national geographics “In a cringe-inducing video that's gone viral, a team of scientists spent nearly ten minutes pulling a plastic straw from the nostrils of an olive ridley sea turtle”

Hi Angela,
ReplyDeleteWhy would you ban plastic straws? I really liked the amount of information you put into your writing and I enjoyed reading it. Next time I think you should add more exaggeration in your writing and overall I really liked your writing.
