We CAN’T believe what we are reading!!! ⁦@Easigrass⁩ why in the world would you encourage folks to line their drawers with something as #toxic as #plasticgrass 😳😳😳? ⁦⁦@ToxicsFree⁩ ⁦@SHPFC⁩ does #artificialturf contain uv-328 in addition to #PFAS?

“It’s a grave concern for me that these containers are used for food, full stop,” said former @EPA scientist Kyla Bennett (@bennettpeer), who is now with @PEERorg. p.s. We’re excited that Kyla Bennett will be the speaker at our February 2 meeting🙂 #PFAS

@tetrapak And what type of items are being made from the recovered paper? Can they be pure paper items or is the paper recovered not 'clean enough' to be a paper only item and will it need to be a paper with plastic item next? @BeyondPlastAct

Thank you @UrbanOutfitters for offering #plasticfreepackaging! From the lack of unnecessary plastic outer sleeves to the little hanger being cardboard! We need more plastic free options like this from big retailers! @BeyondPlastAct

Covering a #plastic tree with #plasticpollution gift cards is so 2021 @Lowes. 2022 & beyond calls for gift cards made of easy to ♻️ paper or electronic cards. This should be an easy fix for you. Just #RethinkPackaging & act with our 🌍 & your employees' kids' futures in mind.

[Beyond Plastics Virtual Group @BeyondPlastAct]

This #holidayseason choose less toxic #giftcard options and let companies like ⁦@Target⁩ know you want them to ditch #plasticpollution cards in favor of electronic or paper options. It's time to #RethinkPackaging for gift cards! Please RT if you agree!

[Beyond Plastics Virtual Group @BeyondPlastAct]

It's bad enough you use #plasticpollution to package your Vitamin D @NatureMade, but then you only fill 1/3 of the bottle?!? Packaging, shipping & selling AIR wastes our 🌍's resources. Time to #RethinkPackaging! Thx to volunteer Kathy L for bringing this to our attn.

If you don't think #plastic gift cards are a #plasticpollution problem you haven't been to a @Target recently. While there are some paper-based cards in this display, the majority are unfortunately #singleuse plastic. Multiply this, by ~2000 Target stores😱 #RethinkPackaging

[Opposing Plastic @opposingplastic]

@BeyondMeat are these the same trays you package your sausages in? I've been adding them in my Lomi home composter @PelaCase Would love for anyone to confirm the proper disposal!

[Beyond Plastics Virtual Group @BeyondPlastAct]

#TwoMinuteAction - There are lots of reasons to choose glass over #plasticpollution. What’s your reason? Ok, now take two minutes & contact the manufacturer (call, tweet or message) to let them know why you’re choosing a similar product not packaged in #plastic. LUK how it goes.

Nothing clean green or safe about plastic recycling. It’s a dangerous toxic hoax promoted by Big Plastics & Big Products

Today, I filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump for engaging in years of financial fraud to enrich himself, his family, and the Trump Organization. 

There aren't two sets of laws for people in this nation: former presidents must be held to the same standards as everyday Americans.

.⁦@Target⁩ ⁦@AskTarget⁩ at what point will you be willing to ditch the #plasticpollution gift cards shoppers receive as a reward for purchasing certain items? Why can’t credit just be applied to the shopper’s Target Rewards balance? #Rethinkpackaging #SingleUseSucks
