Galen G. Weston, Chairman and President of Loblaw Companies Limited holds a baffling amount of personal power to make changes that would impact our planet! He inherited Loblaw and parent company George Weston Ltd from his father, and has an estimated family net worth of US$8.7 billion - the 3rd wealthiest family in Canada.
Loblaw has the power to to create real and pivotal change. It needs to pressure its suppliers to apply more sustainable solutions
when it comes to the issue of plastic packaging.
The problem is growing - 86 per cent of Canada’s plastic waste ends up in landfills, while only nine per cent is recycled.
I recorded this video to try to get my message - and that of the 250,000 of you who have signed - across. It would be incredibly helpful if you were also able to take a minute to record a selfie video addressing Galen G. Weston and calling on him to respond to us.
Thank you again for your support. Together we can demand more sustainable packaging solutions for the health of our beautiful planet!
