The Over-Packaging of America
1. To reduce the amount of packaging for products sold in America.
2. To add recycling numbers and symbols to "Blister" and "bubble" packaging.
3, Add recycling numbers to all plastic bags that can be recycled in community programs.
4. Simplify and reduce costly packaging. Bigger is NOT BETTER!
5. Wrap meats without plastic trays. Return to fresh meat counters.
6. Use only <1> or <2> coded plastics for everything so consumers can recycle anywhere.
7. Place glass, plastic, aluminum recycling containers in highly populated locations.
8. Place a deposit on all glass, beer and beverage containers.
Does it take an act of Congress for Americans to cut our dependence on plastic petroleum products? Join the movement today!
Are you tired of eating a 20 second yogurt out of a #6 plastic container which could last two-hundred years? I am! I remember when dairy products came in glass or wax-covered paper cups. I don't think those cups lasted 200 years, did they? Remember when the milkman picked up the empty milk bottles once a week to be recycled?
Join the petition to decrease the amount of product packaging and to simplify the recycling process! Read the mission statement and join the movement to stop the overpackaging of America and reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
Thank you for reading this petition. I think it's really important.
