Plastic straws, slight in size and seemingly harmless, affect the world’s marine life in a disastrous way that can and should be avoided.
Park Inn Newlands has joined the Refuse the Straw movement, and thinks you should too.
Small and lightweight, straws often never make it into recycling bins; the evidence of this failure is clearly visible on any beach. And although straws amount to a tiny fraction of ocean plastic, their size makes them one of the most insidious polluters because they entangle marine animals and are consumed by fish.” – Laura Parker, National Geographic
Capetonians, surrounded by nature and blessed with beautiful beaches, can make a big different by making small changes to their drinking habits and refusing to use plastic straws. Often unnecessary, plastic straws do far more harm than their convenience could ever warrant.
Park Inn Newlands urges their guests to pick up the practice of refusing straws wherever, and whatever they may be drinking. So next time you drop by Park Inn for a delicious cocktail, you’ll be given a guilt-free, environmentally-friendly plastic straw alternative!
