Description
February 11, 2025
Conservationists in Thailand have expressed that they are “disappointed” by U.S. President Donald Trump’s signing of an executive order that will bring plastic straws back to the country – a single-use item which the prior Biden administration worked to phase out, encouraging the use of paper straws instead.
