Stop Nestlé's plastic monster

Kathleen- Up to 12 million metric tonnes of plastic enter the ocean a year. We need corporate polluters to take responsibility for this mess! Tell Nestlé to protect the oceans with real action and phase out single-use plastic packaging!  TAKE ACTION If you're like me, you're not going to stand idly by anymore while whales, sea turtles, and our neighbors' communities are choking on plastic. That's why right now, I'm on the Greenpeace ship Beluga to send a message to Nestlé. Why Nestle? A whopping 98% of Nestlé's products are sold packaged in single-use packaging. It uses 1.7 million tonnes of plastic annually! Nestlé was #3 in the list of Top Polluters according to global brand audits of plastic pollution, and the #1 top plastic polluter in the Philippines according to a series of waste audits there.  Kathleen, sign the message to the CEO of Nestlé telling him it's time to take bold and immediate action to stop single-use plastics. You just joined millions of others by signing our petition demanding alternatives to corporate plastic pollution. Now, it's time to escalate if we're going to win real change. We are sending your message to Nestlé in a way they can't ignore: on our ship Beluga, we're traveling up the Rhine River from the Netherlands to Nestlé's home country of Switzerland with a giant monster made with throwaway packaging. I'm here to personally make sure that Nestlé hears you: it's time to stop polluting our world with single-use plastic.  Kathleen, make sure your voice is as loud as possible by taking action while our ship is exposing the corporation. Sign the petition right now and tell Nestlé's CEO to stop endangering our oceans, our communities, and wildlife around the world! Incredibly, despite finally acknowledging that recycling alone won't solve this crisis, Nestlé has actually increased its use of plastic packaging by 5% during the past 5 years, rather than reducing its plastic footprint. This is unacceptable. We need Nestlé to take responsibility for the crisis it helped create: start phasing out single-use plastics across the supply chain and, crucially, invest in new delivery systems of refill and reuse. Simply shifting the problem from one throwaway material to another is not a solution. It's time to go beyond vague statements and small-scale trials and show real leadership. Speak out today! Thank you for everything that you do,  Kaitlin Grable, Digital Campaigner, Greenpeace USA P.S. I'm on the Greenpeace ship Beluga taking YOUR message and a giant plastic monster to Nestlé's home country of Switzerland. Be part of the journey — and help make this moment huge — by sending a message to Nestlé right now: no more corporate plastic pollution! Greenpeace never takes a dime from corporations or governments. Everything we do is thanks to the generous support of people like you!
