Straws might seem insignificant, but the plastic straw has come to symbolize a global pollution crisis over the past decade.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday, Feb. 10, encouraging the U.S. government and public to go back to using plastic straws following the Biden Administration’s push to phase out the single-use plastics.

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order banning paper straws, declaring that they "don’t work" and calling for a return to plastic alternatives. "We’re going back to plastic straws," Trump said.
