The river of plastic that shames Britain: Piled up among the driftwood, scores of discarded bottles, car parts, tyres chokes a Yorkshire stream

It comes as a photograph shows a river in Doncaster filled with plastic bottles

Piled up among the driftwood, scores of discarded bottles, car parts, tyres and crisp packets choke one of Britain's rivers

Rubbish, Plastic and other litter floating on the river Cheswold, Doncaster, South Yorkshire

Singling out straws, the UN environment chief called for a ban on plastics that cannot be recycled.

He said: 'Why can't you drink from a bottle or a glass? If every bar put up a sign saying, "If you need a straw ask for it" that would cut straw use by 95 per cent.'
