Plastic-free family:
Thank you again for sticking with us as we gain a major boost of momentum. With 730,000 signatures and over 15,000 new supporters gained in the last 24 hours alone, we are well on our way! Let's continue to share this petition and hope that Amazon and all major shippers get the message that it's time they offered a plastic-free option at checkout. How do we have this in stores but not online?
FORBES' David Vetter published a great piece called This Is How Much Plastic From Amazon Deliveries Ends Up In The Ocean in response to Oceana's study on Amazon's plastic-imprint. The article highlights the work of this petition, your petition, in catalyzing that study. Imagine how many millions more people would choose "plastic-free" if we made it an option available at checkout.
"Online retail giant Amazon generated almost 500 million pounds of plastic packaging last year, more than 22 million pounds of which ended up in rivers and oceans, a new report has claimed, potentially threatening efforts by CEO Jeff Bezos to burnish his firm’s sustainability credentials."
If 2021 is to be the best year yet, let's push even harder to establish "plastic-free" at checkout as the new standard for ecommerce.
Please share this petition and feel free to please also Call Amazon Directly and tell them why we need this. 1 888-280-4331
Be safe and continue sticking up for this beautiful planet-
