#TrashTalkTuesday did you know that in the United States alone, 500 million single-use plastic straws are used every single day? On average, a plastic straw is used for a mere 20 minutes before being tossed away. Straws, like all plastic, do not break down completely and will never fully biodegrade. 👎 Straws can pose a threat for a variety of marine species with sea turtles being one of the most common sea creatures affected. Help by refusing plastic straws when offered or by replacing your single-use plastic straw with a metal, reusable one instead 👍 #4Ocean #PlasticStraws #BeTheChange
