DENVER — America’s national parks and other federally managed lands will phase out sales of plastic bottles and single-use products in the hopes of cutting pollution, Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland announced this week.
Those parks, like Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, Zion in Utah and Yosemite in California, have a decade to identify a path away from plastic products and toward recyclable or compostable materials, the order says.
And by 2032 those parks and lands should entirely phase out the sale of plastic and single-use products.
