Plastic pollution is destroying our oceans. It's harming turtles, whales, fish, and every part of the ocean food chain. There are already over 5 trillion pieces of plastic in our oceans — and the equivalent of one garbage truck worth of plastic enters the oceans every minute.

Supermarkets must phase out this unnecessary plastic packaging. Grocers like Trader Joe's, Kroger, Costco, Walmart, Target, ALDI, Publix, Food Lion, Safeway, and Whole Foods have a huge role to play when it comes to plastic pollution. We are sold fruit, vegetables, meal kits, soda, chips, candy, sandwiches, shampoo, and soap packaged in plastic that we have no choice but to throw away. It is time for these supermarkets to invest in alternatives!
