TAKE ACTION
Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland issued an order on Wednesday, World Oceans Day, to phase out single-use plastic products on lands managed by the Department of the Interior by 2032. The order is intended to reduce -- and eventually eliminate -- plastic and polystyrene food and beverage containers, bottles, straws, cups, cutlery and disposable plastic bags at national parks and on other public lands.
Together, we can move states, and our country, beyond plastic.
We all play a role in creating food waste, so we can all be part of the solution.
Increasing compost can quickly and efficiently decrease methane emissions in landfills and restore soil health.
