A Change.orgon the topic has collected 459,420 signatures as of December 26, 2019. The petition was started by Customers Who Care, and is addressed to CEO Brian Cornell and 11 other Target executives. This is the first Change.org petition put out there by the group.
The petition goes on to say that "Target's plastic bags are choking the earth" by adding to the two million singe-use plastic bags "consumed every minute" and left to degrade water and soil."At Target, we're committed to putting solutions in place that leave the planet better for future families to enjoy," a Target spokesperson told Business Insider in a statement.
"In addition to established efforts, Target teams across the business are working to eliminate, reduce and find alternatives for plastics in our products, packaging and operations," a Target spokesperson said in a statement.
America’s late..
Why don´t they ask Nestle & the water bottled companies to stop using plastic too. What about CocaCola, pepsi Gatorade, etc. It is useless to Target the customer´s plastic bags or...may be is that agenda 2030 paving the way to impose that CarboNazi tax in the near future?
Target should look at all the litter in their parking lots as well. The problem isn’t the bags. It’s that bags and other litter get into waterways and the soil. A good litter pickup service prevents all that. We are ready to help! AskTarget TargetPR
