0:01:19 > 0:01:22but all the others will be here some time this year.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25We just don't know exactly when yet.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29It's thought here in the UK we use more
0:01:29 > 0:01:32than 8 billion plastic straws every year.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36So a group of kids in Scotland are on a mission to get them banned.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38It's because they want to help protect our planet and cut
0:01:38 > 0:01:41the amount of plastic that gets thrown away.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Whitney has more.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48They have already convinced Glasgow Council, the biggest
0:01:48 > 0:01:50in Scotland, to ditch plastic straws, but their mission
0:01:50 > 0:01:53doesn't stop there.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57These kids are taking the ferry to the Isle of Arran.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Around 5,000 people live there and they want them
0:01:59 > 0:02:03to quit using them too.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05There's, like, animals out there who are in danger
0:02:05 > 0:02:07because they eat plastic.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09What do you hope to do with this campaign?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Just try and stop plastic straws being used and start
0:02:12 > 0:02:15using paper straws.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18It's our future and we need to make sure it's not
0:02:18 > 0:02:22all gone when we grow up.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25They call themselves the Ocean Defenders.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29A lot of plastic, when it's thrown away, ends up in the sea.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32It can stay there for hundreds of years because it doesn't rot
0:02:32 > 0:02:36like a paper straw would.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40This means it's harmful to both animals and the environment.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43They are talking to other kids about what they're doing
0:02:43 > 0:02:45so they can do the same.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49I hadn't really thought about it but now the presentation has told me
0:02:49 > 0:02:52a lot more about it, and it is very different now.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55I find the most surprising and interesting thing is how much
0:02:55 > 0:02:58this does affect the environment.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02You wouldn't expect that from wee tiny plastic straws.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05We can speak to some of the cafes on the island because I know a lot
0:03:05 > 0:03:09of the cafes do sell plastic straws, so if we can maybe get them
0:03:09 > 0:03:13to change to the paper straws it would be really good.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16We are trying to make people stop expecting a straw in the drink.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19They are so knowledgeable and they are really
0:03:19 > 0:03:21confident and passionate in the way they speak.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Did you find their arguments persuasive?
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Absolutely, yes.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28This is my naughty pot.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Naughty pot no more.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34You go, guys!
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Next to a dog that needed a helping hand from some passing firefighters
0:03:37 > 0:03:38in Oklahoma in the US.
0:03:38 > 0:03:45Don't worry, it has a happy ending!
0:04:28 > 0:04:31I was dancing away, I love the music on that one!
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Finally, we're more used to seeing Paris like this...
0:04:33 > 0:04:34or like this...than like this.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37More than 12cms of snow has fallen in France's capital city.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40But people have been making the most of the weather.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Skiing on the streets and in the parks and sledging
0:04:42 > 0:04:50wherever they can find a slope.
