1 The Government plans to introduce a new law which will mean that companies like Starbucks will not offer free plastic straws with their drinks. In my view, this would have some negative consequences. 2 In the first place, I believe that some people with disabilities need straws in order to drink. So if this law is introduced, I've no doubt that a lot of them will not be able to drink in cafés and restaurants. I also think that this would discriminate against young children who find drinking with a straw a lot easier and more fun than drinking from a cup or glass. 3 If the aim of the Government is to lower the amount of plastic being thrown away, it seems to me that there's a better alternative. If they banned plastic packaging that supermarkets use to wrap food and drink, it would reduce the amount of waste far more dramatically. 4 In conclusion, although I realize that we need to reduce the amount of plastic waste which goes into the sea, I feel strongly that this new law is not the answer.
