CARING FOR OUR EARTH 🌍 ——————————————————— Plastic free, #noplasticstraws Protect OUR OCEAN and earth, a beautiful unique place we were given to enjoy, however pollution and environmental factors is killing our earth, slowly... it’s never too late for us to work together on sustainable living. ——————————————————— Plastic.... plastic straws.... pollution all a environmental disaster, the earths slow killer... ——————————————————— Starting with the plastic straws, once the plastic eventually makes it into our beautiful ocean, it starts to break down into tiny pieces of micro plastics, rather than biodegrading or dissolving, which poses great threats to marine life including fish, some studies also indicated the microplastics particles that are smaller than dust or powdered sugar were found inside baby sea turtles. ——————————————————— However, upon our recent trip to Bangkok, I was delighted to see our Hotel chain that falls under the umbrella of the Marriott group has phased out most plastic straws. It’s said that the Marriott International chain has made a commitment to remove plastic straws from all of its more than 6,500 hotels by July 2019. ——————————————————— Therefore this equates to the elimination of more than 1 billion plastic straws and about a quarter-billion stirrers per year. 👏 ——————————————————— There are many alternatives to the usual plastic straws. From; * Stainless steel straws. * Bamboo straws * Glass straws... There are so many nifty little bags you can buy to keep your straws in as well when you’re out and about. ——————————————————— #earth #mothernature #plasticfree #noplasticstraw #plasticfree #plasticfreeliving (at Asia/Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bta9p0Fh675/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w4jn64ormtqj
