Elizabeth Kirk a Professor of International Environmental Law, Nottingham Trent University recently published an article on December 3, 2018 regarding solutions to the plastic invasion. Her article discussed a possibility to ending the use of plastic beginning with plastic bags and straws. I don't know how long it will take, but I have begun to see some restaurants using paper straws. I wish that plastic bags would be banned all together. People should use a reusable cloth bag which can be washed and reused. It seems that it is an impossible task, however if don't begin we will never finish.
My 5 year old is already of the new generation of anti-plastic. She always asks to carry the reusable bags and tells restaurants to not use straws. I hope we can continue this movement away from plastic.
