Dear Green American,
Safeway, Walmart, Kroger, and other major grocery chains are creating a huge climate problem.
Refrigerators in the companies’ stores using potent super-pollutant gases, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), are leaking and accelerating the climate crisis.
A report by the Environmental Investigation Agency and Green America used advanced technology in grocery stores in Northern California to detect leaks. We found half of the stores we visited had leaks of climate-polluting gases.
We asked Green Americans to pressure these major grocery chains to clean up their climate pollution. And you responded with nearly 100,000 letters sent to companies urging them to take action. Thank you!
Eliminating HFCs and adopting climate-friendly refrigerants is a top solution to address the climate crisis that can prevent nearly half a degree of global warming. Thanks to pressure from people like you, companies are taking small steps but need to do much more.
Grocery chains know what they need to do. But with the current White House slashing environmental regulations, it will be up to us to hold companies accountable.
So we’ve asked our allies to join us in this action to send another 100,000 letters. Tell Kroger, Safeway, Walmart and other major chains they must act now.
TAKE ACTION
Thanks for all you do,
..................
