In the United States, people throw away 500 million plastic straws(吸管) every day. These are enough to circle the Earth twice! Unluckily, they are almost never recycled, because they are too small.
Now, plastic straws are the aim of growing environmental movements. Among them is Be Straw Free. Milo Cress, 23, started the movement at the age of 16. “I noticed that whenever I ordered a drink at a restaurant, it would come with a straw,” said the American teenager. “This seemed like a huge waste.”
Cress started by asking restaurants in his home city to stop providing straws if customers don't ask for one. Many agreed. Over the years, restaurants in the United States joined the movement. On average, they now use 50 ~ 80 percent fewer plastic straws than they used to.
In other countries, there are similar movements. In the United Kingdom, many restaurants now use paper straws instead of plastic ones. The British government is planning to ban all plastic waste by 2042.
