Plastic items make up 81 percent of all waste found in the country’s national parks and other public lands, according to a report released Tuesday by an advocacy group.

The analysis, done by Plastic-Free Parks TrashBlitz, a community project that tracks plastic pollution in parks, focused on garbage picked up by more than 500 volunteers at 44 cleanups at National Park Service sites from July through September.
