John,

Every year, the average American creates 200 pounds of plastic waste -- that's 35.7 million tons of plastic in total. And plastic pollution is only getting worse.[1]

As one of the largest food service companies in the world, Aramark has a unique opportunity to help slow pollution and get us on a more sustainable path.[2]

That's where you come in. Urge Aramark to reduce unnecessary plastic packaging today.

If you've ever sat at a concert or sports game and enjoyed some nachos or a drink, you've probably enjoyed some of Aramark's products. But after you ate those delicious snacks and gulped down that tasty drink, the leftover plastic packaging likely ended up in a landfill, where it will take hundreds of years to decompose.[3]

We should be able to enjoy a snack or drink out without creating long-lasting, harmful plastic waste.

While individuals only have so much power, Aramark can make a world of difference.

Will you tell Aramark to reduce unnecessary plastic packaging today?

Single-use plastics are one of the main contributors to our growing plastic problem.[4]

Aramark can help change that, and they've already made some strides to reduce plastic waste. From concession stands to museums, schools and offices, the company now has a huge opportunity to reduce single-use plastic production.

When it comes to persuading powerful companies to do their part to reduce plastic waste, we have a proven track record, including convincing Costco and Amazon to cut back on plastic packaging.[5]

Now, we need your help to make a positive difference.

We're counting on you to help build upon these successes. Tell Aramark today: Cut back on unnecessary, wasteful plastic packaging.
