Welcome to Wednesday, July 6th, sporks and knives...
India banned the use of single-use plastic to help reach its climate goals.

The ban pertains to the production, importation, stocking, distribution, sale, and use of certain single-use plastic items with low utility and a high littering potential. These items include plastic stirrers, plates, cups, glasses, cutlery, trays, wrapping and packing materials, balloon sticks, flags, ice cream sticks, and polystyrene for decorations.
India produces the second most plastic waste in the world, behind the United States.

Once Congress returns, the House will be in session for three weeks and the Senate for four weeks until lawmakers begin their August recess. The Senate will reconvene from that break the day after Labor Day, while the House is expected to return a week later.
