Poll: Should plastic straws be removed from all NZ supermarkets?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

You won't be able to find plastic straws in Countdown stores from October 1 - they're off the shelves! To read more, click here.

Countdown is removing them from all stores and replacing them with a range of alternatives including bamboo, metal and paper straws.

The supermarket's move is expected to remove 11.6 million straws from circulation and the waste stream each year. WOW.

Do you think other NZ supermarkets should follow suit?

Poll: Should employees be able to work from home?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz
