Supports bill to ban plastic straws, foam trays
I write in response to the article, “Bill barring plastic straws at some restaurants advances,” (March 19). This article made me agree with bill. I notice it would also not allow foam trays. I am glad the bill would do this!
Barring plastic straws and foam trays would have a good impact. Barring plastic straws would save the environment. Turtles might think a straw is food and attempt to eat it. And besides, you can get your own metal straw that you can reuse.
Foam trays are dangerous, as they can hurt the environment and may be linked to cancer. That’s why you can't microwave foam trays.
I hope the bill passes and people stop using foam trays and plastic straws.
