MAKING TRADER JOE'S MORE SUSTAINABLE
We are concerned that Trader Joe's does not work as much as it can to decrease the use of plastics, which are harmful to our environment. One small example is that milk has gone from cartons to plastic; We would like a more concerted effort to use compostable materials and less plastic.
Why is this important?
We are concerned that Trader Joe's, such a huge supplier of foods to ours and many other communities, does not follow as much sustainable guidelines as it should. I recently stopped buying milk there due to it going from cartons to plastic, which uses petroleum and is much worse for the environment. They reach a lot of people and can be a good example of more sustainable business practices. It really counts when you're so big
