Last year, more than 330 million people visited the national parks and with Labor Day weekend around the corner, parks across the country are likely to see a surge of visitor traffic. While everyone is encouraged to visit a national park in their area, with more visitors comes more waste that the National Park Service (NPS) must manage. Each year, NPS manages nearly 100 million pounds of visitor waste nationally, much of which is brought in from outside the parks.
If you’ve travelled to places like India and China recently, you know that air quality is a serious concern.

Plastic straws aren't the only environmental contaminants missing the trash can, or, rather, the recycling bin. As companies such as Starbucks move away from plastic straws, environmental advocates say these items aren't the worst litter offender.
A record number of visitors traveled to Interior Alaska's Denali National Park and Preserve last year, but they left behind less trash than a few years before. A push to send less waste to the local landfill is working, officials say.
"I always like to say that if someone stops for a cup of coffee on their way into the plant," Easterday said, "then they have put more trash into the landfill than we have for the entire year."
