Answer:

Plastic Straws only make up 2% of the harmful plastic in the ocean. Over 50% of the trash in the ocean is fishing material, which is the most deadly to organisms. You see, the plastic breaks down into tiny microbes that spread everywhere in the ocean, infecting everything. So, to answer your question, straws arent the real problem, its fishing material and humans.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Most plastic straws are also not biodegradable and cannot be broken down naturally by bacteria and other decomposers into non-toxic materials. Most plastic straws simply break into ever-smaller particles, releasing chemicals into the soil, air, and water that are harmful to animals, plants, people, and the environment.
