Cineworld, it's time to use biodegradable straws

Ask Cineworld to stop
polluting our oceans

Dear friends, "If you've been captivated by BBC's Blue Planet then you will agree that plastic is really bad news for our oceans and for the planet. Millions of straws are used every day around the world. Many of these are used for just a few minutes, then are simply thrown away. In fact, plastic straws are one of the top 10 items found in beach clean ups, polluting the water and killing marine life. If we don’t act now, by the year 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. Walk into a cinema and you'll be hard pushed to find someone that isn't holding a bottled drink or drink with a straw in. If we put pressure on a large corporation like Cineworld to scrap non biodegradable straws then hopefully others will follow." - Nicole B. Many of us have seen the horrific images of sea life hurt by plastic straws. It's time to take action to protect our wildlife. Care2 member Nicole has started a petition to ask Cineworld to start using biodegradable straws. Sign her petition now! The more of us that sign, the more pressure we can put on the cinema chain to do the right thing. Thank you,   Beth G. The Care2 Petitions Team
