Sea Turtles Paper Straws was established in 2019 to get ready for the worldwide transition to biodegradable paper straws away from standard plastic straws. Plastic, in general, can take up to several hundred years to decompose. "The proliferation of plastic products in the last 70 years or so has been extraordinary; quite simply we cannot now live without them. We are now producing nearly 300 million tons of plastic every year, half of which is for single use. More than 8 million tons of plastic is dumped into our oceans every year." (Source: https://plasticoceans.org/the-facts/).If governments and corporations take the initiative of switching to paper straws we can reduce the number of produced plastic, as per Plastic Oceans (URL above) by half! That is a lot of plastic out of oceans and landfills. Paper is sustainable, biodegradable and can be recycled and reused! Moving to paper straws is the best step forward to help protect the environment.Help us spread the word to get the paper straw in, and the plastic straw, out! (of oceans and landfills that is!)#sustainable #paperstraws #seaturtles
