Stop the Dirty Dozen!
Target: The Dirty Dozen
Sponsored by: Dogwood Alliance
Sponsored by: Dogwood Alliance
It's time for the world's fast-food companies to clean up their wrappers!
- Fast food packaging makes up 20 percent of all litter
- Food packaging takes up 15 percent of landfills
- 3/4 of all food and drink packages comes from forests
- Over half of landfill waste is paper and wood products
The Dirty Dozen are biggest and baddest fast food companies responsible for this waste. Their piles of packaging have more to do with branding, marketing, and sales than the essential functions of protecting and transporting goods. And Southern U.S. forests account for approximately 60% of the wood and paper products produced in the US and 15% of the paper products produced worldwide.
These vital forests and their biodiversity are in danger! Act today!

You fast food companies, use only recycled paper. Use your profits to plant trees.

Forests are the lungs of the planet, wherever they are. Seeing any of them gone is a really bad thing.

I eat from a lot of these places. I'm going to rethink that now that I know what's going on. There must be a better way to take care of things without cutting down our forests.

This is ridiculous. There is another way and you know it. We don't have to patronize you, you know. We are just as effective at killing ourselves with food we cook at home. We won't patronize if you don't find another way to get napkins.

We need to drastically reduce waste in many forms. One use items should be taxed.

I think no forests anywhere in the world should be cut down for packaging...especially fast food packaging! It should all be made from recycled paper and cardboard.
