One of the most common uses of plastic in our world today is disposable straws. Although plastic straws can be recycled, their small size makes them easily missed in the recycling process. If the disposable straw is not recycled properly, it can find its way back into our environment where it poses many threats. There is a simple switch we can all make, reusable straws. Reusable straws can help reduce the amount of plastic we leave behind, making our world a better place.
