The island of Sikinos will be the first to enter the programme “Sea Change” organised by the A. K. Laskaridis Foundation and ban the use of plastic straws this summer, in a bid to protect the marine environment in the Cyclades archipelago, ANA reports.
The municipality and the island’s residents have promised to replace plastic straws with reusable and biodegradable straws that will be provided by the Laskaridis Foundation, in a campaign that was symbolically launched last Sunday but will be celebrated by an event open to the public to be held this Saturday evening at the Sikinos School.
