In the United States, people throw away 500 million plastic straws(吸管) every day! They are enough to circle the Earth twice. Unluckily, they are almost never recycled, because they are too small.

Cress started by asking restaurants in his home city to stop providing straws if customers do not ask for one. Many of them agreed. Over the years, restaurants in the United States joined the movement. On average, they use 50-80 percent fewer plastic straws than they used to.

In other countries, there are similar movements. In the United Kingdom, many restaurants now use paper straws instead of plastic ones. The British government is planning to ban all plastic waste by 2042.
