They are made in 10 minutes, used in 20 2 and normally remain on the earth for over 100 years since they are hard to be 3 .
But how do plastic straws get into the ocean Through human mistakes, they are often thrown away everywhere and all gutters (排水沟) in some areas lead to our ocean. 4 , plastic straws kill ocean life. Once a 5 was found bleeding because a 12-centimeter-long plastic straw was pushed into 6 nose. How terrible!
In fact, around 500 million plastic straws are used every day in the US alone. If we didn't act now, there would be more plastic in the ocean than fish by 2050.
Luckily, more and more people around the world have realized this problem. They begin to think about 7 plastic straws are necessary or not when drinking drinks.

Our grandparents seem to have magic powers sometimes. Give them a Chinese lunar calendar, and they will know what the weather will be like days or even months later. What's the secret They are following the 24 Solar Terms (节气), which is an important part of Chinese culture. And on Nov. 30, 2016, the United Nations added it to the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity(人类非物质文化遗产).In ancient times, most Chinese people made their living on farms.
