Plastic drinking straws ! I've just signed a petition against plastic drinking straws.

How high do you think they are on the list of the planet's biggest problems?


Judging by the way they wash up beaches and are ingested by marine life,
I think they belong in the top 10, along with all forms of plastic waste
(teabags, coffee cups, sandwich cartons, cook-chill food trays).

Ah. I thought the planet's top 10 problems contained things like a billion people in poverty, huge numbers of deaths from diseases, stuff like that. I shall add drinking straws to the list.
