Ban the sale of single use plastic straws and cutlery in England

The UK uses an estimated 8.5 million straw each years, which are amongst the top 10 items found in beach clean ups. Plastic is damaging our ecosystem, not only killing animals, but also micro-plastics have been found in all water sources across the world - thought to be damaging to our health.
