Explanation: Should NZ Ban Plastic Straws?

I think NZ should ban plastic straws because it is harming our sea creatures. There are plastic in our oceans and plastic straws are part of this pollution. This is bad, This is terrible, this is outrageous. Would you like it if you had a pond filled with fish and saw one of those fish going towards a dangerous straw meal? That ‘s Ridiculous.

Plastic straws can harm our sea animals which is bad. If a sea animal eats a plastic straw then people will have to do surgery to get the straw out. There was a sea turtle that had a straw stuck up its nose. A man on a boat came by as he saw the poor turtle, he then had to pull the straw out. Out of all the plastic in our oceans, 0.025 percent / % of that are straws. Wow that's a lot of straws.If a straw gets into an animal's digestive system, the animal could choke which can cause breathing problems or even sadly, death.

NZ should ban plastic straws because other countries like the United States have one of the worlds biggest plastic straw pollution. NZ shouldn’t be the country that is named after the most plastic straw polluted country in the world. It’s disgusting to see straws people used to drink and left on the beach and washed out to shore. Scientists had estimated about 3.8 billion straws pollute the ocean.

Imagine going to the fish and chip shop. You have an order for chips and a fish. You get the food and open it. It has plastic straws in it. How would you feel what would you do? What if it was a hot day and you wanted to go to the beach. The beach is filled up with straws. How would you feel if you couldn’t go for a swim? Because the ocean is as big as 361.9 billion square kilo meters the plastic straws would be about 1/200 of that.

NZ is a country that is surrounded by the ocean. What if there were no more sea animals near our country. What would you do to save the sea life from plastic straws? This is why I believe that we should ban plastic straws. This is why you should agree.
