According to US media reports, American Airlines said that they will stop using plastic straws, stir bars, and replace them with biodegradable products.
American Airlines said on the 10th that they will provide biodegradable straws and wooden stir bars at the airport terminal this month and start promoting environmentally friendly tableware.
Recently, photographer Caroline Power photographed the amazing 'Plastic Trash Sea' in the waters just 15 miles from Roatan Island in Honduras. The contaminated area is nearly 5 miles, which is shocking.
American Airlines is the world's largest airline. They said that all flights will replace plastic products with bamboo stir sticks from November, because this change is estimated to reduce more than 71,000 pounds (about 32,000 kilograms) of plastic per year. Rubbish.
Alaska Airlines, the nation's fifth-largest transportation industry, announced in May that it will gradually phase out plastic straws and fruit forks this summer and use 'permanent and friendly ocean' alternatives.
It is reported that some cities have banned the use of plastic straws, because these garbage is usually not recycled, and eventually fell to landfills and the ocean.
