The plastic straw has come to symbolize a global pollution crisis over the past decade .
President Donald Trump signed an executive order to reverse a federal push away from plastic straws.
The move was a way for the federal government to acknowledge the severity of the plastic pollution crisis and the scale of the response required to effectively confront it.
In 2023 , Ocean Conservancy volunteers collected more than 61,000 plastic straws and stirrers polluting beaches and waterways in the U.S. Most plastic is made from fossil fuels.
Negotiators at the United Nations climate talks known as COP28 agreed in 2023 the world must transition away from planet-warming fossil fuels and triple the use of renewable energy.
