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!

Reduce, reuse, recycle. I can't stand the thought of trees being killed because some company can't think of a better way to sell their product. Its time to get inventive, so we can stop this wastefullness.

I think the fast food packaging needs to be reduced, I think the forests should be left alone.

I think the very fact that we as a nation are the most wasteful, the most obese and the least aware of our actions concerning our duty to the future is a shame .We no longer set any sort of example for our children and in fact are robbing our children and grandchildren of any hope for a decent environment. I boycott all fast food and especially McDonalds, KFC, Taco Bell, all so called Super Stores.They have driven our small towns and our very nation into a bankrupt way of life. I thank each day that I have been able to at least have a choice. Recycle and buy organic. Boycott all things not local and never Supersize !!!!

This is one more example of wasteful, and needless cutting down of vital forest land-habitats to many wildlife, creators of the cycle of human brathing and the by product a live tree gives back to complete that breathing cycle. Its time to stop the waste. Time to think about the future and preserving natural resources not destroying them.

How about pushing for the legalization of hemp? Hemp requires no pesticides or herbicides, and is a proven soil regenrator. Hemp is a very versatile plant that can produce rope, carpets, shoes, clothing, soap, building materials, soaps, and auto parts. Hemp could solve all paper problems, thereby preserving forests. China, Japan, Germany, france, and Great Britain are all hemp producing countries. Considering the fact that the US is currently in an economic recession, and in desparate need of creating green-collared jobs, as well as the terrible shape of agriculture in this country; it is time to call on legislators to legal.ize industrial hempWe need to take steps now to stop destroying these biologically diverse forests which cannot be replaced.

You need to be proactive in finding ways to do business without deforesting the planet. As people become more conscientious about what they eat and what they buy, and how it affects our life support system on Earth, you will become like the dinosaurs if you are slow to adapt to the new paradigm.
