Less Plastic in National Parks: New Rules for Visitors

This new act aims to reduce disposable plastic products like water bottles and bags in national parks. This means visitors might find fewer options to buy water in plastic bottles and will be encouraged to bring their own reusable containers. Parks will also educate about these changes and install refill stations.
Key points
Reduction in the sale and distribution of disposable plastic products, including water bottles, in national parks.
Introduction of water bottle refill stations in parks to encourage the use of personal containers.
Visitor education on the changes and benefits of plastic reduction.
Regular evaluation of the impact of changes on visitor satisfaction and safety.
