Explanation: Should NZ ban plastic straws?

Plastic straws are really harmful because it harms the sea animals. I think we should ban plastic straws because there are some toxic chemicals in these plastic straws which can poison sea animals, it can get stuck in turtles and birds noses so which is why we should ban plastic straws from New Zealand. Sea creatures and animals won’t be able to digest their food, if they eat plastic straws.

Plastic straws are known to have harmful chemicals in them. Would you let your family put harmful chemicals in their mouths? I think this is not only dangerous but also very unhealthy. This chemical can make these beautiful sea creatures passed away and their will be no more sea creatures surviving anymore, because of what people are dropping on the ground. There has been 65,000 plastic straws that has been wasted and not been reused again. Because these sea creatures won’t survive if there was still plastic straws around. Not only but plastic straws are really really dangerous to the sea creatures, which is not good for them.

We should ban plastic straws since all plastic does is never biodegrade and it causes problems. We should at least pick up rubbish that are plastic and put it into the bin because one day some sea creatures might see it in the water and might think that it’s food. Everyone could get off their bottoms and be picking up the plastic rubbish instead of having our sea creatures dying in the water with people having no brains, how would you feel if there was no sea creatures in the water? We should do this by picking up plastic rubbish and putting it into the rubbish bin. Because what would happen if someone passed away because of having a plastic straw to harm them, how would you feel?

Everyone in New Zealand and in other countries need to try and keep these marine animals alive and not dying because of plastic straws that are ruining their lives. And also think about all the harm these sea creatures are getting into. Its very sad for these creatures to die because of these harmful plastic straws.

I think this is why we should be picking up the waste of plastic that are on the ground and put it in the bin, cause if we don’t there’s gonna be a bigger problem going on with the sea creatures and we're gonna have no more sea animals to swim with.
