plastics discussion

For this discussion, please answer the following:

What are 2 things that concern you most about the global use of plastics?
What is your opinion about major companies banning plastic straws? Plastic straws are only account for about .03% of the plastic in the ocean. Do you think this is a good way to help the current situation, or do you feel that these companies may have an ulterior motive for the ban?
Why do you think companies aren’t doing more to address the larger issues in the ocean such as finishing nets, plastic bottles and plastic bags?
Do the materials covered this week motivate you to change your behavior/habits around the use of plastic? If so, how? If not, why not?
