Stop Meijer's overproduction of plastic bags


Stop Meijer's overproduction of plastic bags
The Issue
Meijer has made massive investments into plastic bags with absolute disregard for the detrimental environmental effects of plastic waste. At the end of every checkout line in Meijer, you will find a spinning plastic bag dispenser which not only encourages the use of plastic but makes paper options out of reach.
Meijer has made little effort to promote recycling and even less effort in reducing their waste production.
Meijer also has recently spent $20,000 on lobbying to make it illegal for the state of Michigan to ban plastic shopping bags.
Meijer has over 220 stores in the Midwest and is expanding. Sign this petition to help to stop this damaging behavior.
