Hi, I'm Hayley -
and this is Newsround. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
It's thought here in the UK
we use more than 8 billion | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
plastic straws every year. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
So a group of kids in Scotland
are on a mission to get them banned. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:28 | |
It's because they want to help
protect our planet and cut | 0:00:28 | 0:00:32 | |
the amount of plastic that
gets thrown away. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
Whitney has this... | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
They've already convinced
Glasgow Council, the biggest | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
in Scotland to ditch | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
plastic straws but their mission | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
doesn't stop there. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
These kids are taking
the ferry to the Isle of | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
Arran. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
Around 5000 people live there
and they want them to quit using | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
them too. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
There is, like, animals out
there in danger because they are | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
eating plastic. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
What do you hope to do
with this campaign? | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
Try and stop plastic
straws from being used. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
And start using, like, paper straws. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
It's our future and
we need to make sure | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
that it's not all gone
when we grow up. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
They call themselves
the Ocean Defenders. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:16 | |
A lot of plastic when
it's thrown away ends | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
up in the sea. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
It can stay there for hundreds
of years because it doesnt | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
rot like a paper straw would. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
This means it's harmful to both
animals and the environment. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:30 | |
They're talking to
other kids about what | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
they're doing so they
can do the same. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
I hadn't really thought about it
but now the presentation has | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
taught me a lot more about it,
it's very different now. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:43 | |
I think the most surprising
and interesting thing is | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
how much this does
affect the environment. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
You wouldn't expect that from wee,
tiny plastic straws. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
We could to speak to some | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
of the cafes on the island | 0:01:55 | 0:01:56 | |
because I know a lot
of | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
the cafes sell plastic straws
so if we could maybe get them | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
to change to paper straws it
would be really | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
good. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:05 | |
We're trying to make people stop
expecting a straw in their | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
drink. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
They are so knowledgeable
and they're are really confident and | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
passionate, the way they speak. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:14 | |
Did you find the arguments
persuasive, you got plastic | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
straws... | 0:02:16 | 0:02:17 | |
Absolutely. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:18 | |
Absolutely. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:19 | |
This is my naughty pot,
naughty pot no more. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
You go, guys! | 0:02:21 | 0:02:29 | |
Thanks, guys, good work. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
The FA Cup dream is over) for League
2 side Newport County. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
They played premier league giants
Tottenham at Wembley last night. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
But lost 2-0. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:38 | |
Spurs will now face Rochdale. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:39 | |
Next, meet the extreme ice
skater from Saudi Arabia - | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
who's moved to Liverpool in England
to share his incredible skating | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
skills with the world. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
Growing in Saudi Arabia you don't
really see much ice. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
When I came I first came
to Liverpool people | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
doesn't expect someone
from an Arabic country to come | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
and present something new. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:09 | |
I got into ice skating
as a boy, my sister started | 0:03:22 | 0:03:27 | |
ice-skating as figure skater
when I was young and since then | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
I started going there with her. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
Every time I go the coach
would see me starting to do flips | 0:03:31 | 0:03:35 | |
and I started watching
aggressive skating and line | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
skating and nobody knew
there was | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
something in the middle called
extreme where you could just jump, | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
break dance. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
It's a physical sport. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
You train your hands, your legs,
your blood circulation, it | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
helps your fitness wise,
it helps in your confidence | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
once you get used to it,
the first basic thing I tell | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
everybody that's never
skated, your mind is your | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
boundaries, try a jump,
if | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
you don't like it, try footwork,
you don't like it, try | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
spinning, you don't
like it, you got brakes. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:18 | |
I would love to go to the Olympics,
my dream at the end is to | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
reach if I can to the best
ice skater, extreme ice | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
skater in the world. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
That's so impressed that. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
