What the petition asks
Plastic straws are currently heavily polluting our oceans and causing significant harm to our Sea Life. A recent video released shows a sea turtle with a straw stuck in its nostril. The pain and suffering caused to creatures and the damage to the environment is unnecessary as there are alternatives.
