The Reducing Waste in National Parks Act was recently introduced in Congress. This bill would take a commonsense approach to protecting our shared public lands from the onslaught of plastic pollution.
It’s time to throw single-use plastics out of our National Parks!
Plastic pollution is much more than just littering. It’s a slow motion oil spill. Over 90% of plastic waste ends up in landfills, incinerators, or as trash that often ends up in the water.
It’s a toxic and untenable situation that our National Parks need not support or fund in any way.
Congress has a responsibility to do everything in its power to ensure our national treasures will still be around for future generations to enjoy. We cannot allow the fossil fuel industry to trash our National Parks with their plastic pollution.
