Community research project results underscore urgent need to address single-use plastic in national parks

The 5 Gyres Institute and its partners reveal the findings of the Plastic-Free Parks TrashBlitz, a community science project tracking plastic pollution in US national parks. Based on data submitted by volunteers, plastic is the most prevalent material found in national parks and federal lands, accounting for 81 percent of all reported trash.

Food and beverage-related items made up the bulk of the debris found, accounting for 45 percent of the total trash recorded. Cigarette butts, food wrappers, plastic bottles, bottle caps, and textiles were the most common items found. Repeatedly topping the list of top corporate plastic polluters in the world¹Coca-Cola, Nestle and PepsiCo were among the top 10 brands identified, along with Camel, Marlboro, Nature Valley, Gatorade, Crystal Geyser, Parliament and Kirkland.

Project partners mobilized volunteers from across the country to organize cleanups from July to September and upload their findings to the TrashBlitz research platform. More than 500 volunteers participated in cleanups at 44 sites across the country, including national parks and federal lands such as urban parks, forests and monuments managed by the National Park Service. TrashBlitz volunteers also collected data samples at the Yosemite Facelift, an annual five-day cleanup event in Yosemite National Park during which 1,300 volunteers collected 14,780 pounds of trash.

Data from the Plastic-Free Parks TrashBlitz underscores the urgent need for policy change and legislation to address single-use plastic in national parks. Earlier this year, the US Department of the Interior announced an order to phase out the sale of single-use plastic on federal land by 2032.^two, but these results show that the plastic problem requires faster action. In addition to moving up the 10-year timeline, the National Park Service may implement improvements to the parks, such as increasing access to charging stations and requiring reusable dining utensils for on-site dining.

A bill introduced last year by Rep. Mike Quigley³ would ban the sale and distribution of several major items found during the TrashBlitz project, including single-use plastic bottles, straws, and packaging. If it passes, the Waste Reduction Law in National Parks is the fastest way to address single-use plastic pollution in national parks.

“I have been fortunate to visit seven national parks during my time in Congress. Each visit emphasizes the importance of protecting these national treasures from all threats,” said Congressman Quigley. “These visits have also taught me that plastic pollution in our parks causes serious damage to many fragile ecosystems. we must pass the Waste Reduction Law in National Parks to ensure the health and beauty of our national parks for generations to come.”

Nonprofit and brand partners supporting Plastic-Free Parks TrashBlitz include 5 Gyres, Azulita Project, Ban SUP Refill, Beyond Plastics Seattle, Break Free From Plastic, ChicoBag Company, Community Environmental Council, Gnarwhal Coffee Co., Inland Ocean Coalition, Klean Kanteen, MOM’s Mercado Orgánico, Natracare, Oceana, Oceanic Global, Oceanic Preservation Society, Plaine Products, Plastic Free Future, Plastic Free July, Plastic Pollution Coalition, Port Arthur Community Action Network (PACAN), prAna, Preserve, ProGrade Digital , Resilient Palisades, Sarama Inc, Shark Stewards, Story of Stuff Project, Surfrider San Francisco, Sway, The Bay Foundation, The Last Plastic Straw, Weeks Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, and Zero Waste Washington.

Partner Appointments:

“Each piece of trash documented by volunteers is incredibly valuable in helping us understand the unique plastic pollution trends of national parks and federal lands. As a result of the national Plastic-Free Parks TrashBlitz, we have strong data showing that single-use plastic items make up the majority of the trash that escapes the waste stream, ultimately harming the health of our people. , wildlife and waterways in our most precious places. landscapes We must take immediate action to reduce plastic pollution at its source, by eliminating the sale, distribution and use of all single-use disposable plastics and investing in reuse infrastructure and sustainable packaging options.”

– Alison Waliszewski, Policy Director, 5 Gyres Institute

“Citizen science has spoken: Plastic pollution is a problem in our national parks, and single-use plastic tops the lists of collected waste. Our parks and wildlife cannot wait 10 years to reverse this pollution crisis – the Department of the Interior must quickly phase out single-use plastics so it can uphold its commitment to protecting these special areas.”

– Christy Leavitt, Campaign Manager, Oceana

“While the Department of the Interior’s plans to phase out plastic in our national parks have set a clear direction to follow, the results of the TrashBlitz study tell us that we need to accelerate the timeline. The department needs to work aggressively with park concessionaires to ensure we are moving away from the sale of single-use plastics in parks. If we are going to address the plastics crisis, our national parks must lead the way on how we can shape a future without waste.” – Sam Pearse, lead activist, The Story of Stuff Project

“This timely TrashBlitz citizen science audit of national parks and federal lands demonstrates why it is critical to stop selling and distributing single-use plastics in these precious and shared places. The alternatives are well identified and available to make this change today, we don’t have to wait 10 years. A community of organizations, solution providers, and advocates from across the country stands ready to support DOI in this significant effort, which will inspire other institutions and agencies to follow suit. #SolutionsExist”

– Cassia Patel, Director of Programs, Oceanic Global

“The recent TrashBlitz report advocates accelerating the deadline by which the Department of the Interior has already agreed to stop the sale and distribution of single-use plastic items in our national parks and on federal lands. There are solutions to plastic pollution. Allowing this crisis to continue counteracts critical efforts to protect our planet. It also disrespects the original stewards of the Earth, the indigenous peoples, who were violently and unfairly robbed of land used to establish national parks. DOI can and must do better by implementing zero-waste systems and solutions in our national parks and on federal lands as soon as possible.” – Jackie Nuñez, Advocacy and Engagement Manager, Plastic Pollution Coalition, and Founder, The Last Plastic Straw

“Our National Parks and beaches are overwhelmed by plastic harmful to wildlife and human health, but the power of our community and the data provided by Plastic-Free Parks TrashBlitz will help us turn the tide on toxic waste.”

– David McGuire, Founder and Director, Shark Stewards

“Mountains of single-use plastic and plastic bottles overwhelm wildlife, create greenhouse gases, pollute our waters and cost taxpayers to transport. As crowds return to record levels after the pandemic, a tsunami of plastic debris will once again flood our parks. The Biden administration has committed to addressing this issue for the next ten years. However, national parks can start to stop using plastic right now.”

– Colleen Teubner, Litigation and Policy Attorney, Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER)

Two extremist animal organizations, WildEarth Guardians and Project Coyote, filed suit in Montana state court to end the hunting and trapping of wolves under the Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission. This is the latest in a series of legal actions taken by such groups to thwart the handling of wolves by fish and wildlife officials in various states across the country.

“The only suitable option for these extremists is total ‘hands-off’ when it comes to wolves, but anyone who knows anything about conservation realizes that effective fish and wildlife management requires just that: management.” said Todd Adkins, vice president of government affairs. in the Sportsmen’s Alliance. “These groups just don’t care about the health and abundance of wildlife, it’s all about the wolves.”

Effective management of wolves has proven to be one of the most contentious issues facing fish and wildlife officials since wolf populations began to be reintroduced to the United States in the early 1980s. With sustainable populations in many states, anti-hunting and anti-trapping groups regularly attempt to shut down wolf hunting or trapping programs, regardless of the science, to advance their cause.

“In case after case, what we see is the animal rights industry using wolves to raise money despite wolf populations exceeding population goals in almost every case in their range,” Adkins said. “Filing one frivolous lawsuit after another attacking hunters, trappers and wildlife managers means a lot of money for their radical agenda.”

The Sportsmen’s Alliance is currently reviewing options on how to best help athletes protect their freedom in this latest attack in Montana. Rest assured, we will continue to monitor the situation and notify our members and supporters of new developments immediately.

Mike Arnold, Distinguished Research Professor of Genetics at the University of Georgia and author of the trend-setting new book, Bringing Back the Lions: International Hunters, Local Tribespeople, and the Miraculous Rescue of a Doomed Ecosystem in Mozambique, recently attended the 20th meeting annual African Wildlife Consultative Forum in Maputo, Mozambique. Held in different African locations each year, the forum organized by the Safari Club International Foundation brings together stakeholders involved in sustainable use models (ie trophy hunting) across the continent. Most of the countries represented by government officials, community leaders and academics were from the southern African regions, including South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Zambia. However, attendees also hailed from Central, West and East Africa, as well as Uganda, Tanzania and Cameroon.

“It was a great honor to be invited to attend and contribute to this important meeting on the future of wildlife in Africa and the role that hunters and hunting play in not only helping species survive, but also thrive,” said Arnold, who is well known and highly respected both for his research and writing on conservation biology. “As Fernando de Sousa of the Mozambican Ministry of Lands and Environment so wisely stated when the conference opened, Africa must make use of its wildlife resources for community development, and without an ‘economic benefit’, extinction of wildlife in Africa will be the result. .”

Arnold’s acclaimed book, Bringing Back the Lions, details how a small group of professional hunters spearheaded a nearly 30-year effort to return a once-incredible wildlife paradise from a decimated, near-barren landscape to one of the world’s leading wilderness of the world that the area of ​​Mozambique known as Coutada 11 is today. While attending the recent forum, he had the honor of presenting a copy of this groundbreaking work to the Honorable Carlos dos Santos, Ambassador of Mozambique to the United States.

Spring Hill, Tennessee— More than 60 union merchants from 18 states and Canada gathered for the first-ever Union Sportsmen’s Alliance (USA) women’s fishing event just outside downtown Las Vegas in conjunction with the 12^the Tradeswomen Build Nations Annual Conference: The world’s largest gathering of women traders.

“The women who attended this event are electricians, insulators, blacksmiths, elevator builders, painters, day laborers, carpenters, cement workers, plumbers and pipefitters and millworkers, who are breaking down barriers and paving the way for other women in the trades,” she said. US Communications Manager Kate Nation, “So it seemed very appropriate to bring them together through fishing and the outdoors, and hopefully inspire them to take up the sport and pass it on to other women and girls of all ages.” .

Union volunteers from Plasterers and Cement Masons Local 797, Masons Local 13 and Blacksmiths Local 433, as well as professional fisherman and fishing guide Ashley Nichole Lewis, a member of the University of California Student Workers Union represented by Local 2865 of Auto Workers attended to help the participants and share their experience.

“This event was deeply meaningful because working in male-dominated fields, whether it’s construction or fishing, can be isolating, and the opportunity to connect with other women builds much-needed community,” said Quinault member Lewis. . Indian Nation of Western Washington. “The event was also diverse both in the fields of work the women represent and in race, ethnicity, age and fishing experience. With such varied backgrounds, it only makes sense to connect through a shared interest in the outdoors.”

A 30-minute drive from the Las Vegas Strip, Floyd Lamb Park, centered on a series of small lakes in the Mojave Desert, gave women a new perspective on the city and a chance to connect with union sisters from other trades.

“I haven’t been fishing since 1993, almost 30 years,” said Rita Neiderheiser, a member of UA Sprinklerfitters Local 669, “and it’s fun to be here with my sisters just kicking back, no pressure and having fun. ”

“We couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome of our first-ever women’s fishing event,” said Walt Ingram, USA CEO and CEO. “We greatly appreciate the support we received from the Construction Unions of North America. (NABTU) to host the event during their Tradeswomen Build Nations Conference and all that they did to help promote it. While women are always welcome and encouraged to attend all US events, we recognize the value of women-focused events like this one and look forward to doing more in the future.”

As the Women’s Fishing Event wrapped up, volunteers from OPCMIA Local 797 gave away fishing rods to a mother and her two daughters who were visiting the park to celebrate Nevada Day. Lewis showed them how to bait their hooks and taught them how to cast with their new rods, and soon they were practicing on her own. Local union workers will donate the remaining fishing poles used during the event to other members of the Las Vegas community.
