In the United States, voters are called to vote in around fifteen states to nominate the candidate of each party for the presidential election. It’s called “Super Tuesday”.

And then the European Union will ban all single-use plastic containers in cafes and restaurants, or even require that all packaging be recyclable, by 2030. An agreement, which must still be validated by the States and the MEPs, was found on a whole series of measures. Every year, each EU resident throws away 187 kilos of packaging.
