Use of plastics has become ubiquitous in our society since their first introduction in the 1950s. At present, it is estimated that only 20% of plastics are recycled or incinerated, leaving the rest as waste in the environment. It is projected that this waste could reach 2.4 billion tons by 2050. Due to slow and incomplete degradation, microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) are emerging as harmful pollutants both for human health and the environment.

A new global urban-preferences study suggests that many young Las Vegans view the city as a temporary stop rather than a long-term home. Other data show that Las Vegas experiences significant churn. Census estimates indicate that about 16 percent of city residents moved within the past year, a rate higher than the Nevada average. A Lincy Institute fact sheet from UNLV, citing Opportunity Insights data, found that from 1994 to 2018 one in three young adults raised in the Las Vegas region eventually moved to another state. Independent mobility studies have also pointed to a sharp reversal in migration patterns after the pandemic boom, including periods of negative net migration.
