U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley reintroduced legislation this week to reduce disposable plastics in national parks after the Trump administration reversed a Biden-era policy to phase them out. The Oregon Democrat’s bill would eliminate the procurement, sale and distribution of plastic water bottles, carry-out bags, straws and food packaging at the parks. The move is the latest in a decade-old fight to get rid of single-use plastics on public lands.
