Are Straws Made Out of Microplastics?

Episode description

Luna asks: ‘Are straws made out of microplastics so it’s bad?’ We learn what straws are really made of (polypropylene plastic, not microplastics), how they can break down into microplastics over time, and why straws are actually a tiny piece of a much bigger puzzle. Fishing nets, bottles, and bags are way bigger ocean plastic problems — so skipping straws is nice, but the biggest wins come from the bigger pieces.
