Ban the distribution of plastic straws within England and Wales

Petition Details

Many companies exchange plastic straws to paper, however, numerous stores within England and Wales still sell multi-pack plastic straws meaning countless amounts are wasted. National Geographic’s study revealed 4.4 billion straws are thrown away annually, thus destroying our oceans and species.

We have come so far as a nation in the reduction of plastic straws already. Therefore, stopping the production of plastic straws would complete our goal.
