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.

Tell Aramark to cut down on single-use plastic

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.

Thank you,

Faye Park
President
