Explanation: Should NZ ban plastic straws?

                                          Should NZ ban plastic


Plastic Straws are actually simple to fair, they're small, quite useful for drinking as well. But sometimes usefulness and simplicity can cause something so dangerous. Hi my name is Joseph and by now you should know the boundaries of what plastic straws can cause. Plastic straws are a bigger deal than you think. Some turtles live they're live with a plastic straw in their nostrils, but for what reason. Well you see it is caused from us people, people that are capable of thinking of their own actions.


“Eww Yuck” is a common reaction I’d see if there was a photo of a plastic straw shoved into a turtle's nose. Well I find that sad, to see a plastic straw stuck in a turtle's nose is like hearing it scream help. Some people say that banning straws won’t make a difference, they might be true... in your own opinion. But making a small difference in the present could make a big difference in the future. Tell me what you achieve from throwing plastic straws? Do you become luxurious and full with gold?


Apparently some California restaurants have banned plastic straws. For the past 10 years New Zealand have been collecting plastic straws throughout the beaches. It is said that there are 65,000 plastic straws. Imagine in 30 years we kept on littering plastic straws, there would be approximately 195,000 plastic straw which is a lot of straws for a small countrie.

  1. Hello Joseph,
    I loved reading your persuasive explanation of why we should ban plastic straws in New Zealand. I find a lot of these points very interesting as I disagree with your statement. Although I do still agree with a few things in your text. You are right, if you throw a straw away what do you gain from it besides not needing to make a trip to the bin. I think what we really need is more bins! Besides a few spelling mistakes (Which I know you can easily fix) your explanation is extraordinary!
