Lets just face it. Single use plastic is just NEVER recycled. It doesn't matter how much the consumer tries it just doesn't happen. North Carolina is a beautiful state with gorgeous beaches, and breath taking mountains. Single use plastic has got to go. If it can't go in glass or isn't made of compostable packaging it has got to go. Not in 2022 and not in 2023, it has got to go in 2021.

NO MORE:

• single use plastic shopping bags (use cloth shopping bags)
• take out containers (use foil containers),
• straws (they make great ones actually made out of corn),
• Styrofoam (it should have just never existed).

Humans are ingesting plastic every day!

So are wildlife, and so are marine animals. When it comes to animals we are more trashy then animals. We need to bring back bottle deposits where it puts the recycling in the hands of the ones who made the product in the first place. The manufacture should be the one responsible for the product and the waste that they create with their own product.
