Dear Friend,

The amount of plastic produced outweighs all of Earth's wildlife, according to new research.1

Nothing we use for a few minutes should threaten our health and pollute our future for hundreds of years. It's time to put our planet and public health first.

We're calling on Whole Foods to make this commitment and eliminate single-use plastic packaging. Support our campaign by making a year-end gift before midnight, Dec. 31.

According to a recent report surveying 50 companies, Whole Foods' plastic policies are among the worst. Whole Foods received an "F" for failing to reduce single-use packaging, embrace recycled content and publicly disclose its plastic footprint.2

We're leading the call for Whole Foods to move beyond plastic. With the help of supporters like you, our national network has collected over 30,000 messages urging Whole Foods to take responsibility for its plastic pollution.

This campaign is critical to reducing the plastic pollution that accumulates in our environment and threatens our health. If Whole Foods commits to eliminating single-use plastic packaging, it will set the stage for more grocery chains to follow suit.

Donate to U.S. PIRG's End of Year Drive to help us move Whole Foods beyond plastic.

We know how to combine professional research with advocacy and grassroots organizing to win campaigns. From our work on state bottle bills in Massachusetts to helping pass strong bans on single-use plastic in counties and states across the country, our national network has a track record of success.

Now, we're turning our attention to corporations. With your support, we can convince Whole Foods to help slash plastic pollution.

Make your gift to U.S. PIRG today to help us reach our $100,000 goal and be a crucial part of our campaign.

Thank you for all you do,

Faye Park
President
