Reusable drinking straws are gaining more attention as the best alternative to single-use plastic straws. After a video of a struggling sea turtle with a disposable straw in its nostrils went viral online, environmental advocates and organizations are strongly supporting campaigns to stop using disposable plastic straws.
Straws are a wonderful tool, making people's’ lives easier, especially for kids and hospital patients; also, straws help protect people’s oral health, preventing teeth stains and cavities. Most importantly, drinking through straws is just often more enjoyable!
It has become a norm for servers, from fancy restaurants to fast food chains, to hand smoothies, iced teas, and iced coffees with disposable straws to clients. Customers don’t have to ask for straws because these are instantly included with thirst-quenching drinks, whether it’s for dine-in or takeout. Sometimes, people go crazy when there are no straws included in their drinks, having no idea that straws cause so much harm to the environment.
DANGERS OF USING DISPOSABLE STRAWS
There are 500 million Americans who use disposable straws every day. Every day! Most of the time, this straw trash debris goes straight to waterways, largely to the oceans. Since these straws are now part of the ocean, sea animals mistake straws for food and little do they know, it’s poisoning themand killing them.
Environmentalists are strongly supporting campaigns to prevent the use of disposable straws. Some organizations are inviting people to switch to reusable drinking straws. Reusable straws are a great alternative to disposable straws since the effects of disposable straws are destroying the Earth and therefore, in the long run, people’s health.
Every time you use a reusable drinking straw, you are actually contributing to help lessen the 46,000 full-sized buses of trash collected every year. So, can you imagine how far these reusable straws will go?
