In 2011, activists asked Trader Joe’s to stop throwing out food, and the former president of Trader Joes, Dan Rauch, responded by launching a business model for food that is past the expiry date.
Unfortunately a lot of the produce, nuts, and frozen goods are not in 100% recycleable and biodegradeable packaging. We have caused to our biosphere and personal health a lot of damage through our plastic usage and need to build more sustainable models with industry leaders, like Trader Joes.
Trader Joe’s could set the standard of which direction our food systems need to move in in order to ensure sustainable business practices and protect our personal and environmental health.
Sign this petition asking Trader Joe’s to help build models to cut the use of plastic.
