Today I finished my DLO on perspectives of what people think about Countdown not selling Energy drinks to kids under 16. I have also included my opinion and what I think. I don't really mind Countdown not selling energy drinks because I have never drunk one and it doesn't effect me in any way. Also in this DLO I added the perspective of an under 16 kid hating the new rule and the perspective of someone who agrees with the rule. I enjoyed doing this task because I got to tell my opinion of this new rule.

Explanation: Should NZ ban plastic straws?
Have you used a plastic straw before? - Of course you have. And have you ever wondered how plastic straws can biodegrade? Well it takes 200 years! Plastic straws entered our world in 1870 as drinking tubes, and have still been around for the last 200 years. But now people are thinking of banning them. But why?
Banning straws will mean that our sea creatures will be able to live a longer life. Our sea animals and birds have been choking and suffocating on plastic straws and it needs to stop NOW! Plastic Straws have been a bad cause to our land because it causes pollution in our oceans. Would you like it if you were swimming in plastic straws? I wouldn’t think so.
It has been noticed that plastic straws aren’t getting recycled. And is somehow getting in our oceans and is also causing landfill. Did you know that there are chemicals in some plastic straws that could possibly get into your drink.
Banning straws will stop some pollution because not all of pollution around the world is caused by plastic straws. Did you know that in the last 10 years 65,000 plastic straws were collected from NZ beaches? Its crazy how so many people just deliberately drop their straws because they can’t bother walking to a recycling bin.
Plastic straws are harming animals and causing pollution. What if you went to the beach and all you saw were plastic straws and lifeless sea turtle? It’s almost 2020 and plastic straws are still a thing? We need to ban them!
