JOIN THE MOVEMENT BELOW!Thank you!You have successfully joined our subscriber list. Why launch Packaging For The Planet?
It is incredibly frustrating to be shopping for your favorite products, from food to clothing, and find that the packaging is non-recyclable.
This happens to me all the time, and I see it more and more as I learn about the recyclability of certain plastics. A company may be non-GMO, organic, fair-trade, etc. and yet their product comes shipped or wrapped in plastic wrap, packing peanuts, or other single-use plastics, all of which has to go right in the garbage. Groan! I've taken this frustration and decided to reframe it. Instead of phasing out that product, I asked myself: why not send a friendly email to customer service and ask if they would consider more earth-friendly packaging options - either fully recyclable or compostable? Then I thought, why not get a bunch of other earth-lovers on board? Then we all could send in an email on the same day and together we could put gentle pressure on the companies we love to do better. That's what #PackagingForThePlanet is all about. Woo! How does #PackagingForThePlanet work?
The way #PackagingForThePlanet works is:
I love this because it requires only a few minutes of your time twice a month and together we have the potential to make a massive change for our planet.
What's the goal of #PackagingForThePlanet
My hope is that by putting well-meaning pressure on our favorite companies, we can nudge them to explore, and ultimately choose, better packaging products that are either universally recyclable (including #2 plastic, cardboard, paper, glass, and metal) or are fully compostable (sourced non-GMO).
When companies are receptive and open, we will ask them to take a #PackagingPledge that simply states they understand that earth friendly packaging is important and they are working towards solutions. Packaging is a complicated issue and change doesn't happen overnight, knowing this, we will check in with the company every six months to see how progress is going. In the face of climate change, it's heartbreaking that our government is not taking action and making necessary changes. I've stopped counting on them and realized we have other options - ones that act faster and are much more willing to change. Let's look to the companies we love and ourselves to be the solution. Are you ready to make some sustainable waves in the name of our planet in 2019? Thank you!You have successfully joined our subscriber list.
