In fact, not only fast food chain stores of well-known brands such as KFC and McDonald's, but also street teahouses and roadside stalls consume a lot of plastic straws every day, and many of them are inferior and cheap. However, few people pay attention to the sanitary problems of plastic straws and the environmental pollution caused by disposable use. Although plastic straws are convenient, they are difficult to recycle, which will not only harm our environment, but also bring more serious harm to other creatures. The consumption of plastic straws in the world is very large.
Plastic garbage is very harmful to marine life and threatens human health. Plastic waste will gradually decompose in the ocean, forming many tiny plastic particles with a diameter less than 5 mm. The impurities harmful to health and substances adsorbed in water contained in the tiny plastic particles will accumulate through the food chain and may eventually enter the human body. The best way to solve these problems is to urge consumers to reduce the number of disposable plastic products, such as plastic straws. Just like McDonald's new cup cover without straw, including the paper tube introduced before, if there are more plastic straw substitutes and they are quickly used by the public, the environmental problem of plastic pollution will be greatly improved.
Plastic reduction is one of the problems to be solved urgently in sustainable development. Plastic straws are difficult to recycle because they are small. They will pose a threat to the ecological environment. The positive action of McDonald's to reduce plastic straws will play a positive role in promoting the reduction of plastic in the whole society.
