Did you hear about our two wins so far in 2023? #1 Amazon responds to our pressure on Toxic Textiles Amazon Private Brands has finally responded to our mounting pressure to end toxic textiles by beginning to comply with the AFIRM's Restricted Substance List for apparel, apparel accessories, and footwear products in North America, Europe, and Japan. This is a small step in the right direction that will begin to protect customers from toxic chemicals and heavy metals. Much more must be done by Amazon to protect consumers, workers, and our environment. #2 Trader Joe's Makes the Switch from HFCs Despite refusing to talk to us, it seems Trader Joes has heard our members loud and clear. This month, Trader Joe’s announced its new stores are using a climate-friendly refrigerant instead of HFCs, which are highly potent greenhouse gases. This is great news, and we will continue to urge the company to make the switch in all 560 of its stores. This progress is possible because of consumer power! Green America + YOU = Amazing Impact!
