Did you know that packaging accounts for nearly a third of municipal solid waste in the United States, according to the U.S. EPA? Some packaging items, especially food ware such as cups, lids, straws, utensils, takeout containers, and bags, often end up as litter where they pollute marine environments, and persist in the environment and in living organisms for much longer than they are in use. Take action to reduce litter at home, at school, and in your community!
