** Take Action: Help Trader Joe’s Get Out of the Toxic Hall of Shame
------------------------------------------------------------

Our friends at Toxic-Free Future ([link removed]) maintain a Retailer Report Card ([link removed]) that grades retailers on how environmentally responsible they are when it comes to protecting customers from toxic chemicals. Trader Joe’s has received a failing grade, lagging behind even Walmart when it comes to tackling toxic chemicals and plastics. That has landed Trader Joe’s in the “Toxic Hall of Shame.” Click here ([link removed]) to tell Trader Joe’s to eliminate toxic chemicals and unnecessary plastics from their store shelves and commit to safer solutions.
