PLASTIC-FREE PARKS
A TrashBlitz project to protect our parks.
PLASTIC-FREE PARKS IS AN ANNUAL TRASHBLITZ PROJECT TRACKING WASTE TRENDS IN NATIONAL, STATE, AND LOCAL PARKS. THE GOAL IS TO IDENTIFY WHICH MATERIALS, ITEMS, AND BRANDS OF WASTE ARE MOST COMMON TO HELP DRIVE LOCALIZED SOLUTIONS THAT PROTECT PARKS FROM PLASTIC POLLUTION.
