THE Queen has launched a major crackdown on plastics across the royal estate after meeting with Blue Planet presenter Sir David Attenborough.

The measures taken include phasing out plastic straws in all public cafes and staff dining rooms, a ban on plastic water bottles in meetings and ensuring all takeaway food packaging is biodegradable.

The move comes after the 91-year-old monarch recorded a documentary with the TV naturalist, also 91, about a conservation project called the Commonwealth Canopy.

The pair, born just a few weeks apart, were filmed laughing and joking together in November as they discussed the aim to create a network of national forest parks in the 52 countries of the Commonwealth.

I do know that many zoos have banned plastic straws, utensils and cups because they'd blow away from the trash bins and end up in the animal enclosures.  :(
