Urge Publix to Switch to Plant-based Plastics!

Together, we can help Publix change their bag policy to reflect some or all of the following:

1. Opt to use a plant-based polylactic acid plastic (PLA) instead of convential petroleum-based plastic. PLA biodegrades into carbon dioxide and water in about 3 months.
2. Provide an incentive to customers who use re-usable grocery bags, maybe 15 cents per bag. At the family average of 1500 bags per year, that's an annual savings of $225 per year!
3. Charge customers for each plastic bag they use. This will help Publix offset the cost of switching to PLA bags and help to subsidize the patrons who use re-usable bags. here

Publix Refusing To Support The Fair Food Program

Florida’s tomato farms supply

50% of all U.S. fresh tomatoes

but have also been called America’s ‘ground zero for slavery.’

Countless workers held against their will, threatened with violence and forced to haul hundreds of heavy tomato buckets a day for little to no pay. Thankfully, a new solution called the Fair Food Program has been proven successful. The Fair Food Program is working to enforce a policy of zero tolerance for slavery on tomato farms........more

But a major U.S. supermarket chain,

Publix Super Markets, is refusing to support the Fair Food Program.
