At Earth Day’s 40th Anniversary, a Majority of Americans Believe it will Take at Least Another 40 Years to Achieve “Zero Waste”
Although a majority of Americans (57 percent) would like for the U.S. to achieve “zero-waste”—or a state where all products are reused and any trash sent to landfills is minimal—in 20 years or less, they believe it will take 41 years or more (53 percent) before “zero-waste” can be achieved, according to a survey of one-thousand Americans conducted by Opinion Research for the Glass Packaging Institute (GPI) from April 8 - 11, 2010, with a margin of error of +/-5 percent (survey facts).
Remember to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day on April 22nd!
