At parishes around the nation, there are festivals occurring year-round. At these festivals, a crushing amount of plastic, styrofoam, and more harmful products are being used. Believe it or not, these are some scary facts from one parish we surveyed.

​

FOR THIS PARISH'S FESTIVAL THEY ORDERED...

​

Over 33,000 plastic utensils

​

Over 10,000 plastic bags

​

Over 7,500 plastic cups

​

Over 21,375 styrofoam bowls, plates, and takeout containers

​
