Tell The New York Public Library to stop using plastic!
Target:
Paul LeClerc - President and CEO and Catherine Carver Dunn - Sr. Vice President of External Affairs
Sponsored by:
The New York Public Library has completely revamped their systems with a new self-checkout for borrowing materials. While the books have undergone almost no change, the DVDs, CDs and Videos have been wrapped in plastic that has to be removed and discarded before use. Each time these materials are returned a new plastic wrapping is put on. Plastic pollution is a huge issue that is affecting our environment and contributing to the death of our planet. The New York Public Library's use of disposable plastic as a security feature is both wasteful and irresponsible. Please tell the New York Public Library to stop polluting with plastic and to find an environmentally sound method to loan out their DVDs, CDs and videos.

It's amazing that a repository of knowledge has not learned from the past and removed a future hurdle, like all good institutions should.

According to CNN's Anderson Cooper and others, the fact is that the use of plastics and ignorance of disposing properly, has created what scientist's call a "plastic soup". Therefore, it's a safe bet that we, humans, are responsible for destroying the Earth's oceans. One More Step for killing Mother Earth.
