Create reusable or recyclable pumps for hand soaps

The Issue

Bath and Body Works makes beautifully scented hand soaps, which are very popular amongst consumers. They have stopped using triclosan, after some pressure from consumers. Now, it is time to push them a little further, and urge them to create reusable or recyclable pumps for their popular hand soaps. Currently, the pumps must be thrown out (the rest of the plastic bottle is recyclable). As consumers, we have a responsibility to let this large corporation know that we will not tolerate products which are not environmentally responsible. A simple solution for Bath and Body Works would be to place a foil seal over top their soap products, allowing people to reuse the pumps they already have. This would keep thousands, perhaps millions of plastic pumps out of our landfills. Please sign this peititon, and until they resolve this issue, join in the boycott of Bath and Body Works soaps. Thank You.
