Dear John,

You are among the first to see our petition to Amazon, created in partnership with Coalition members, asking the e-commerce giant to stop polluting our planet with single-use plastic packaging.

As Black Friday and Cyber Monday (two of Amazon's biggest money-making days of the year) approach, we need your support to build this campaign. Add your name and start sharing using hashtag #PlasticFreeAmazon. Get ready to share it on your networks. (Need ideas? Check out our social sharing guide.)

As the holiday season approaches, we give thanks to you. Thank you for your voice and action toward our shared vision of a world free of plastic pollution, where humans and animals thrive.

Yours with gratitude,

Emily
