Tell Whole Foods to get single-use plastic packaging off its shelves

Whole Foods CEO John Mackey:

Our country's plastic pollution crisis poses an enormous threat to our communities and environment -- for example, we're on pace to put more than 53 million metric tons of plastic into our oceans and waterways each year by 2030.

If we're going to turn the tide on plastic waste, we need prominent supermarket chains such as Whole Foods to play a major role. Whole Foods can make an impact right now by setting a bold example on plastic waste reduction that others in the industry can follow -- and that starts with getting rid of harmful, unnecessary single-use plastics.

We urge you to commit to eliminating single-use plastic packaging from your stores.
