Dear Green American, Thank you to the thousands of Green Americans who demanded Kroger take action on climate change. Kroger heard you. The company committed to climate-safe, natural refrigerants in all new stores—proof that consumer pressure moves corporate giants. But here's what they're not telling you: less than 1% of Kroger's existing stores currently use natural refrigerants. With new leadership taking charge at Kroger, we need to ensure momentum doesn't stall. Tell Kroger's new leaders – we need greater action on climate pollutants! Partial commitments are how companies buy time while communities continue suffering the consequences. Green America has seen this pattern before: initial progress, positive press, then silence. And Kroger isn't the only one lagging—Walmart, Safeway, and Albertsons all need to accelerate their transitions too. That's why our work doesn't stop at the first announcement or at a single company. We're holding the entire grocery industry accountable—Kroger, Walmart, Safeway, Albertsons, and others—tracking implementation, challenging greenwashing, and maintaining pressure until meaningful change reaches every store. Campaigns like this require resources for advocacy, research, and coalition-building. If you can donate $15, $30, or any amount today, your donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar, and you'll help ensure we have the capacity to fight for as long as it takes. Your support makes this work possible. |
