Taknakstraw Challenge. A Plastic Straw Will Stay I..
17th Aug 2019, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
#TakNakStraw Challenge.
A plastic straw will stay in the environment for hundreds of years, causing harm to wildlife and people. Straws and other single-use disposable plastics hurt sealife when they are mistaken for food. When animals encounter plastics, they can become entangled or can starve due to ingestion. Scientists estimate that more than half of all sea turtles have eaten plastic.
Take action by accepting this challenge and make a difference in your community!
