www.naturalawakenings.com/2022/03/31/392601/plastic-on-its-way-out-at-national-parks"A poll by Ipsos conducted for the ocean conservation group Oceana last November found that 82 percent of registered U.S. voters responding would like the National Park Service to stop selling and distributing single-use plastic items. The survey revealed broad appreciation for national parks, with around four in five respondents saying they had been to a park and 83 percent of previous park visitors looking forward to a return visit. Oceana Plastics Campaign Director Christy Leavitt says, “These polling results indicate that Americans, whether Republican or Democrat, want our parks to be unmarred by the pollution caused by single-use plastic.”..." My notes: I hope they do stop. We don't need disposable plastic products.

I think single-use plastic items should be banned everywhere not just in the national parks. If you are using plastic, make sure it can be recycled. If you take plastic items in the national parks, make sure to bring your trash back home.
