Question

Use the paragraph to answer the question.

Think about the last time you ordered a drink from a restaurant. Did you use a straw or drink directly from the cup? It is common for people to use a plastic straw to drink at restaurants or at home, but these straws end up in our oceans, polluting the waters and endangering marine life. Americans alone use 500 million straws each day, which is enough to wrap around Earth 2.5 times. Luckily, there are small changes people can make in their daily lives to reduce that number.
