They end up in waterways, harm sea animals, and break down into microplastics. Quantities of places have passed plastic-straw bans as a way to start handling the global plastic waste problem.Straw materials: advantages and disadvantages1.MetalMade of stainless steel, aluminum, or even titanium, metal straws have become popular. They draw some criticism for having a metallic taste and conducting heat from a hot drink, but theyre strong and can be reused.2.PaperPaper drinking straws, which date from the late 1800s, often absorb liquid over time and can leave a taste or fibres in drinks. Theyre the most popular throwaway choice in places with plastic-straw bans.3.GlassThough glass straws may be more breakable and thus less portable than reusable straws of other materials, they hold up well to washing and reuse.

Farid, his older brother, had been looked upon as a man long before he was Zakis age. Every day Farid and the other young Bahraini men went out in their wooden boats to dive for oysters (牡蛎). Many times Zaki begged to go along, but Farid always refused to let him go with them.So every day Zaki would go to the shallow water to practise. His grandfather, a former diver, would watch him and advise him. All morning, Zaki would practise diving beneath the waves. Every afternoon, again and again he would go underwater and hold his breath. With each days practice, his diving improved and he could hold his breath a little while longer. Soon Zaki felt as much at home in the water as he did out of it.Zaki rose early one day. He wanted to compete with his brother. They dived beneath the waves. Zaki opened his eyes and found himself looking into his brothers face. Farid was smiling with confidence. Slowly, the smile was disappearing from Farids face. As more seconds passed, a worried look appeared on Farids face. Farid was realizing that Zaki could possibly beat him. Looking into Farids eyes, Zaki suddenly understood what losing could mean to his brother. Never would the villagers allow him to live it down. He would be laughed at for losing to a little child. Almost without thinking, Zaki kicked his feet and rose to the surface of the water a second before Farids head appeared beside him.The men around them cheered and patted Farid on the back.

Its only when we asked for a table for six that we realized something was a bit different. The waitress glanced at our group and held up six fingers. Thats because all the staff are deaf.Last month, the HuffPost visited Smiles Cafe in Granada. The business only employs people who are deaf, from the waiters to the cooks. “My goal is for this cafe to be a mirror for other businesses to lose their fear of hiring people with disabilities,” the founder Antonio Bunuel, who is from Spain, told HuffPost. “Its also for the peo
