THE RECYCLED STRAW

By – Hesmel Faznee Faisal

Salam, to fellow bloggers and readers of this self pitiful blog!

The habit of recycling materials made from plastic, papers and aluminum, whilst is a good way in preserving the longevity of the environment, at the same time has higher repercussion to public as well.

As reported in the local newspaper recently, the fact that not all items are suitable for recycling purposes should be put into consideration before decision being made to reuse it again and again!

Plastic straws have become the highest natural wastage in the world; with millions of it collected in the disposal area as most of us seldom reuse it due to hygienic purposes.

According to a website, we should never put our trust on biodegradable straws made from bioplastics like PLA, since evidence shows that there's not a whole lot of biodegrading going on with them—they just break up into smaller bits of plastic than other straws, and still release methane in the process.

Not all drinks (with the exception of smoothies!) require the usage of straw. Conceivably, some may find it inappropriate to drink directly from the glass or mug without using a straw but I believe most of us might have second thought on using it after reading the news above!

Whatever reasons it maybe, consider this every time we visit our favourite curry house shop and drink a glass of ice coffee; do they serve it with a new straw or a straw that was used by a person who has syphilis?
