Straw Kids
Who We Are
We are a team of kids, banding together to minimize the use of single use plastics - we are starting with plastic straws!
Why is Reducing Single use Plastic Important to Us?
"After a while, if we don’t do anything, the environment is going to be so polluted it will be hard for humans and animals."
"In a few decades, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. If we don’t do something, plastic straws and other plastic things will get into humans’ waters and it can get into our bodies."
"It harms animals and the environment and my generation and the next is going to be in trouble."
"Because of my deep love for animals and when I see pictures of the whale's belly full of plastic, it just makes my heart ache."
"This is important to me because I want to see a beautiful world for all my life. If we keep going like this, it might not happen. It’s important for all animals to live on our planet. They’re important to our planet’s ecosystem."
"I think we should reduce plastic straws because they hurt animals."
"We should not use plastic straws because it is bad for the environment."
