I've been writing/sending letters to major stores in our area, as well as major suppliers - the form letter format is available on my website blog (March/April) for any who wish to use it.
What I have currently started: everytime I am in a grocery store, I find someone in the produce section and VOICE my dislike on the use of all the plastic clam-shell plastic that is overwhelming us...lettuces, sprouts, berries, herbs - all needless and very little of it is... truly recyclable or actually reused. I have filled out "input" forms as well, but I speak out with the produce person and the checker where I do check out and ask them to pass it on to their management. Just this morning, the produce person at the New Leaf on the Westside said their new produce manager also dislikes all the plastic clamshell items. So I am hopeful a vocal campaign will cause some changes. So PLEASE, it's an easy thing to do - VOICE your distain/dislike for those items in plastic clamshells....and boycott them until this is remedied.
I'm hopeful it the store management hears this enough, they will be driven to do something about it!
Thanks!
