🧐Most of the plastic straws nowadays are not biodegradable and it cannot broken down by the bacteria and other decomposer too. So, this can give an adverse effects to human beings and also to the environment. 😔

😭Most of the plastics are being found in the streams, rivers and lakes, where the aquatic life is in danger of ingesting plastics or even being exposed to toxins which leach from the plastics.😭

😎Plastic can be known as an magnet and also a toxic one, because it can attracts other chemicals and also bacteria in the ocean waters. 😁

😎Plastic straws contain Bisphenol and also polypropylene, where these component can leach dangerous chemicals into land, soil, water and etc. Most of the plastic straws cannot be recycled and it is not biodegradable and it will take few hundred years to decompose it, so this is why plastics are being ended up in a landfill or even in the ocean.🥲

😳Plastic is dangerous to marine animals especially animals that live in the ocean. We can see nowadays sea turtles with a plastic straws which is stuck in the sea turtle nostril which can be found in YouTube which actually went viral few years ago! Not only sea turtles are affected but sea birds, whales and dolphins are affected too. 🥺

😊❤️Instead of using plastic straw, we should use stainless steel straw. This stainless steel straw is reusable, durable and also non-toxic and this can help us to reduce the amount of plastics that we use and we can help the environment in order to mitigate various kind of plastic problems. So, next time if you guys at the restaurant’s, ensure to tell the staff not to include plastic straw into your drink, you can replace it by using your own stainless straw. Wherever you guys go anywhere, ensure to bring along your stainless steel straw. This can spread and also create awareness about plastic.😊❤️

🔥 Let’s spread this message to people regarding plastics! 🔥
