“This study proves what we’ve always believed: litter is solvable when people, systems and partners work together,” said Jennifer Lawson, President and CEO of Keep America Beautiful. “The declines show us what’s possible when communities act with urgency and commitment. But our work is far from done. With 35 billion pieces of litter still out there and new types emerging, we must scale what’s working, close the remaining gaps in infrastructure and access and continue building on this momentum.”

The study reveals how litter reflects the changing rhythms of American life. Cardboard litter is up 50% as online shopping reshapes consumer habits. PPE litter – masks and gloves that surged during the pandemic – is down 76%, while e-cigarette litter has spiked along vaping trends. Overall plastic litter is declining, though plastic water bottle litter rose 20%.

“Litter tells the story of how we live,” said David Scott, PhD, SVP of Data and Research at Keep America Beautiful. “Right now, it’s telling a story of progress – but it’s also showing us exactly where we need to focus next. Without sustained effort and smarter strategies, these gains could be reversed. We must continue to act with urgency, double down on what’s working and tackle the challenges that remain.”

>>1515100
>Yes. He seems like a good guy
EVs are important to you, or you wouldn't call Trump a 'good guy', nor say 'Yes' to that question. Complain about that.

Who cares about littering. We have all these resources to be a top renewable energy country like China is but instead Trumps destroy progress in this field.

That and deregulation allows corporations to steamroll into national parks and mine and drill there.

Lastly just look at oil. All that matters is Iran does not get a nuclear weapon. Russia has nuclear weapons and you could believe they would sell them to anyone who really wants one. Who cares if Iran gets a nuclear weapon how does this harm me? No, it harms Israel.

We have high gas prices and dwindling gas reserves because of this idiot.

We have the technology and ability to build a mini nuke reactor in any city that wants one.
We could line every parking lot with solar and nearly infinitely power the buildings attached to thise lots.
I couls go on, but the only focus anyone has anymore in ANY news related platform, is now much they can scream at whoeever they think is the opposition.
Dems wokt do shitm they'll get elected then pass some feel good laws and pass all the real issues on to whoeevers next. If I disagree, then I'm some kind of evil sexist pig or racist.
Reds wont do shit because they'll focus on what short terms gets their people more money, even if it means absolutely destroying everything in their path. And if I dare disgaree I'm a liberal or whatever retarded insult of the week there is.

Fuck all of you. I'm juat going to go live in the woods.
Oh wait I'm not even safe there from you fucking retards cause they found lithium so want to take my land by force!

>Reds wont do shit because they'll focus on what short terms gets their people more money, even if it means absolutely destroying everything in their path. And if I dare disgaree I'm a liberal or whatever retarded insult of the week there is.
Tried. Blues fought prosperity by faking a plague that killed olds, magnifying it to an extent where everyone, homosexual HIV infected or not, was forced into disaster mode.
Then they attained power and fucked everything up.
And Team Blue just wants to fuck little boys and kill white people (they'll say otherwise).
And you're wrong about Reds. You seriously need to look into ACA and reconsider your position.
Reds are ineffective do-nothings. They get in and do nothing. Trump is an exception since he's pushing them to do stuff.
So instead of sitting on the fence, why not lube up a nice fence post and squat on it?

kek, I accept your concession

>>1515169
you're literally always lying and projecting. your new thing is bringing up giant cock for no reason, which i find particularly strange. nobody respects you

>>1515163
Indeed. Perhaps part of the reason littering is down is because of all the deported illegals.

>>1515170
you literally just brought up giant cock for no reason, then accused me of doing it, in the same comment you accuse me of projecting.
ngl that is actually some pretty good trolling. I'll give you a 5/8

esl shill is trooning out again in a thread about Biden reducing litter?
Sounds about right for the BDS queen

>>1515172
the receipts are right on this board esl shill, you don't have to deny all the strange fetishes you love spamming here

>>1515170
The Biggest Blackest Cock.
You know, you're not even an effective troll, the majority of your shitty 'esl shill' shitposts go ignored.
Who do you think is listening to the 'esl shill' shill bot?
>Hey this guy literally has one reply
>Hey he's a cool troll
>We should listen to him
It's not what's happening.
So, enlighten us on the endgame here.
What are you doing? I can think of a few angles but none are sane or rational.
Because is you're trying to make people leave it's not working.
And if you're trying to discredit other posters it's not working.
If you think you're influencing people spamming one liners it's not working.
And if you're simply out to troll, that's not working either.
Thought you should know that being an irrational pest really isn't doing much for you.

>>1515152
>If I disagree, then I'm some kind of evil sexist pig or racist.

If someone calls you racist or sexist, does that make you racist or sexist? No? Cool.

If you believe in some piece of democratic policy, and someone calls you a racist, is that a good reason not to support that policy? No? Cool.

What's weird to me is that you acknowledge that Democrats do something. You're not satisfied with the things they do, you call them ineffectual and feel good, but they do at least address issues, even if they aren't effective. Then you go on to acknowledge republicans are corrupt and willing to destroy "absolutely everything in their path."

That seems like a really fucking easy choice to me.

I feel like I can relate, I am uncomfortable in certain left wing spaces as a white male, but that doesn't mean left wing spaces are only for those assholes, it just means there's morons on both sides. You shouldn't let them push you out.

Exactly the response I expected.

Again, exactly the response I expected and what the DNC keeps saying.

You both said the exact same thing but one of you tried to scare me into believing them and the other tried to make me feel good.

This is exactly why I'm sick of this shit and am more than happy to waste my presidential vote on whoeever had the most goofy ass sounding name, while using my local vote to actually get shit done. I want to carry an RPG to protect my ground water and none of you can stop me anymore.

You think I was trying to make you feel good?

'Kay. Pay attention dipshit, because no I absolutely didn't say the same things the right wing faggot did, and no I don't care about your stupid fucking feelings.

If someone calling you mean names changes your vote, then you are an absolute moron, and a cowardly little bitch. Grow the fuck up and fight for your political interests instead of expecting everyone else to do everything for you. You're not going to get everything you want without having to fight, compromise, and stand up to people who are going to call you mean names. If you can't do that, fucking eat a gun. Just stop being such a whiny little bitch.

>>1515176

Even better than that, they just make up these numbers.

>>1515225
>slightly weakening a department that does basically nothing anyway is worse than adding 100 million people.

>I think kicking 100 million people out of America makes them disappear and ends their impact on the environment. I think it's a good idea to deport 1 in 4 people in the country, why would that be a needlessly vindictive logistical nightmare? I think there's more illegals in the country than the highest credible estimate by a factor of more than 4. Yes, I am this fucking dumb.

How are the borders open under the dems? What do open borders mean in this context? Be specific, because that sounds made up.

>>1515258

LMAO. It means when Biden let millions of people pour across the border, so much that even blue cities were saying they couldn't handle how open his border was.

Strange....

>I'm going to piss and moan about legal immigration while ICE raids courthouses holding immigration hearings. I won't acknowledge almost half of illegal immigrants are illegal because of expired visas, clerical errors, and that most americans support giving these people, paths to citizenship. I think it makes sense to rip an established member of a community out of their home instead. I won't admit this hurts the entire community they settled in.

I hear a stupid faggot laughing.

>I'm arguing we're massively overpopulated even though we're below replacement level, because I couldn't wait to show everyone how right you are to think I'm a total fucking moron.

>>1515297
You keep smugly repeating “population = pollution” like you just discovered arithmetic while collapsing all demographics, economics, and environmental science into caveman-tier thinking.

Immigration doesn’t create humans from the void, dipshit. Most immigrants already exist somewhere else on Earth. And yes, replacement level has an actual meaning outside your /pol/ meme sludge - the US birthrate is below it, which is why you keep desperately conflating legal immigration with illegal immigration to pad your argument.

Also hilarious that you think corporations torching oceans, clear-cutting forests, and pumping out emissions somehow matter less than Juan mowing lawns in Texas.

You couldn't point out a moron if you had a map, mental midget.

Most mass shooters are cisgender. Only around 0.11% are trans. And trannies are about 1% of the population. This means they are underepresented in mass violence.

disingenuous comparison when you're considering mass shooter statistics before the trans movement became mainstream but go ahead and lie.
Also no one bought up mass shooters you did anon you know why? because ur a brainlet retard who can't think for himself and just copy pastas the same rebuttal even to situations no one bought up. you absolute piece of shit terrorist.

LMAO holy shit you are fucking stupid. So only White people pollute or use resources? And overpopulated countries wouldn't naturally correct if they couldn't dump their excess population onto the US? And you STILL have no fucking idea what replacement level means and how irrelevant it is here, because you don't understand math? And you think corporations do all of those things for no reason as opposed to an increased demand caused by... increased population?

You are so fucking stupid holy shit imagine not understanding basic arithmetic or understanding anything about how the world works.
