REPLACE YOUR STRAW WITH AN ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVE - OR SAY NO TO PLASTIC STRAWS
Plastic doesn’t degrade, it doesn’t break down - it breaks up but it never disappears.
Plastic straws are made from polypropylene, which is a byproduct of petroleum a fossil fuel. Try to incinerate plastic and toxic dioxins disperse into the air we breathe, landing on our farms and becoming bioaccumulated into animals and humans alike.
There are no special straw-recycling facilities, meaning your plastic straw can sit in landfill for potentially hundreds of years, if it doesn’t work its way into our oceans.
