Straws are certainly not a basic necessity, but\u00a0 they are usually found in our homes, especially if there are children.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, it is now known that straws are part of those disposable plastic objects that can seriously damage the sea and its animals<\/strong> if dispersed in the environment: they are often found on the coasts among the waste transported to shore by the waves and unfortunately also in the stomach of turtles, fishes and dead water birds. Recently the European parliament<\/strong> approved a directive that bans the plastic<\/a> of single-use products for which there is a more ecological alternative: by 2021 it will not be possible to market plastic cutlery (forks, knives, spoons and chopsticks), plates, plastic straws, cotton buds made of plastic, plastic sticks for balloons, oxy-degradable plastics, food containers and polystyrene foam cups<\/em>.<\/p>\n In this video <\/strong>a surfer finds herself having to move between a sea of \u200b\u200bplastic<\/strong> (including straws): even if certainly our disposable straws will not end up in the Indian Ocean, it is really the time to worry about the environment in which our children will live and contribute with our choices, even if small, to reduce the production of waste<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Un post condiviso da Rebekah Olive Flower Mermaid (@rebekah_mermaid)<\/a> in data: \n
