8.“His better nature” is a common way of talking about a person’s deeper character.
The ban on the use of plastic straws is a positive initiative, but it is not effective to reduce the pollution that plastic products promote in nature, especially in the oceans.
This is because straws, although they contribute to pollution and are used on a large scale, represent only 4% of the amount of plastic that is thrown into the sea and that harms marine life in an intense way. This means that even if the world population stopped using these straws, plastic pollution would remain the same.
However, we cannot deny that the ban on the use of plastic straws has a strong pedagogical value, because it is an interesting initiative to alert the population about the damage caused by the indiscriminate use of plastic, which may reflect in the reduction of other products that pollute from more intense way.
Therefore, it is necessary to emphasize that the ban on plastic straws, although positive, is insufficient and more effective campaigns should be established to prohibit the use of plastic-based products that are more harmful to nature.
