- Inspiration
- What do you think? How many plastic straws are thrown away every day? Millions? Billions? The second guess is right! There are 3-6 billion plastic straws that end up in the garbage every day worldwide. The amount thrown away is roughly equivalent to the weight of 500 orca whales. So good, that finally there will be a ban on plastic drinking straws in the EU in 2021.
