I just contacted via online messaging, two plastic USA companies this morning urging them to stop plastic production and find alternatives. I also messaged Woodmans for the second time this year asking them to stop using plastic grocery bags. I don't expect responses but I do feel so much better for having made the effort. And I won't stop at this. I aim to continue to pester and bug and contact as many companies and related parties as possible until things change. In particular, I am going to "go after" plastic straw companies next.
On Saturday at a conference a couple friends and I ordered drinks from the barista. Plastic cups and lids of course contained the completely unnecessary fluids. I did not take or use a straw, however. And my friend said, you are such a good example. But she wanted her straw and used it anyway. sigh. I have also been not giving my kids straws when we go out or order food. And I consistently ask food-to-go places to keep all of their plastic utensils. We use paper straws at home.
The fight begins.
