One of the most common uses of plastic in our world today is disposable straws. Although plastic straws can be recycled, their small size makes them easily missed in the recycling process. If the disposable straw is not recycled properly, it can find its way back into our environment where it poses many threats. There is a simple switch we can all make, reusable straws. Reusable straws can help reduce the amount of plastic we leave behind, making our world a better place.

Single-use plastic is one of the worst plastics you can use, because when you use it, you never use it again – you just throw it in the trash bin and nobody really cares. The thing is that only 7% of bottles are actually recycled. We shouldn’t us single-use plastic at all. This picture foucuses on single-use plastic. Most of the things shown can be found at home such as laundry detergents, cans, paper ect. I found all these things in an alley close to Dingli Primary School.
