The answer to protecting and saving marine(海洋) wildlife can start with cutting back on something Americans use every day—plastic drinking straws. Actor Adrien Grenier, best known for playing Vincent Chase in 2015 movie Entourage, has launched a campaign to reduce the amount of single-use plastic usage in this country in order to protect and save marine wildlife and the environment. Plastic drinking straws are among many single-use plastic products contributing to the shocking loss of marine life, but they’re a great place to start because they’re something Americans are using by the hundreds of millions without any awareness that they’re so damaging.

According to Ecocycle, an international environmental organization, Americans use more than 500 million straws daily, which are enough to fill 127 school buses each day, and they can’t be recycled. They means plastic straws end up in landfills or oceans, where fish and other marine wildlife mistake the small bits for food and swallow them. After seeing a photo of a whale beached on the shore with a belly full of plastic, Grenier felt the inspiration to launch the Lonely Whale Foundation, hoping to inspire and educate others on the challenges facing marine life.

Along with stopping the use of straws, Grenier hopes to educate consumers on the dangers of other single-use plastic items such as grocery bags and water bottles. While many Americans use these plastic products in their daily life, there are more sustainable alternatives that can help protect the environment. Ecocycle recommends the use of straws made from stainless steel, glass, and even bamboo instead of plastic. You can buy a number of these environmentally friendly straws online and in stores.

1.What initially contributed to the start of Grenier’s campaign?

A. Plastic straws in landfills.

B. A picture of a dead whale.

C. The severe damage done to the sea.

D. The disappearance of some species under the sea.

2.What is the primary purpose of the Lonely Whale Foundation?

A. To advocate a green lifestyle.

B. To promote Grenier’s latest movie.

C. To save precious natural resources.

D. To encourage people to protect ocean life.

3.Ecocycle advises people to use straws that are ________.

A. easy to recycle

B. convenient to use

C. special to marine life

D. harmless to the environment

—It is getting dark outside, Tommy. I must be off now.

—___________
