Friend,

Earlier this month, a dead Cuvier's beaked whale washed ashore. The cause of death? Eating massive amounts of plastic products that had ended up in the ocean.[1]

It's just the latest in a string of examples of how our plastic waste is devastating wildlife. It's increasingly clear we need to do better -- but Whole Foods, which advertises itself as environmentally responsible, recently received an F grade from As You Sow for its plastic packaging.[2]

Whole Foods has an important board meeting next week, where it'll be considering a shareholder resolution to address plastic packaging. Take a minute now to tell Whole Foods that it's time it gets single-use plastic packaging off its shelves.

Human beings have produced more than 8 billion metric tons of plastic since its invention, and most of it has ended up clogging landfills or choking wildlife in our oceans.[3]

We need companies like Whole Foods to take responsibility for the pollution their products create -- and that starts with getting rid of single-use plastic packaging.

Whole Foods needs to hear from people like you that our oceans and wildlife can't wait. The store needs to take action now to eliminate single-use plastic packaging. With your help, we can ensure that Whole Foods does its part to protect our planet by putting wildlife over waste.

Tell Whole Foods: It's time to do better on plastic packaging.
