The Letter Writing Campaign Continues
During the fast few months, we have contacted many companies about the
issue of zero waste. Here are the companies we have contacted and why we
contacted them.
 We contacted President’s Choice, Dad's Cookies, M&M's,
and Skittles because they use too much plastic in their packaging. The
plastic will create a lot of garbage. We suggested to them that they use
recyclable materials such as cardboard or paper for packaging.
We also contacted fast food restaurants like McDonald’s, Licks, Burger
King, Harveys, and Wendy's because they have been giving out too many
little packages of ketchup. It has been using too much plastic and
creating too much garbage. We suggest that they have a large ketchup
bottle on the table. This used to be done at one point and it will reduce
garbage.
Grocery stores are on our target list as well. Think about all the
waste created from plastic bags (55 million in Canada per year). We have
suggested they use cardboard boxes or start a plastic bag deposit return
system (see restaurant grocery stores page) instead of plastic bags.
These are just some of the companies we've started contacting. If you
find packaging that you think is environmentally unfriendly, send us an
e-mail. We might not be able to get companies to change their packaging,
but we can sure try! |
