Question 3:
The campaign of forbidding the usage of plastic straws is one of the initiatives towards sustainable development. As a restaurant owner, discuss the effects of the enforcement of this campaign to your business.

Answer:
This campaign is able to preserve the environment by increasing the quality of water and soil if plastic substances are not being thrown into soil and water. This can avoid water pollution and save aquatic animals from accidentally eating plastic. With the absence of plastics, there will be no dangerous gases released due to plastic combustion and therefore, there will be no air pollution.
