Petition for KFC to invest in paper straws instead of plastic

Petition Details

Many coffee chains, restaurants, bars and even fast-food agencies such as McDonald's have introduced paper straws in opposition to the standard plastic.I believe that in order for this movement to continue, it is important to encourage other chains to follow suit, starting with KFC.

Additional Information

In England, we use an estimated 8.5 billion plastic straws each year according to government figures. If this figure is lowered by the recycling of paper alternatives, it would help prevent plastic pollution; protecting our oceans.
