Tell General Mills CEO Jeffrey Harmening: General Mills needs to cut out the plastic

General Mills CEO Jeffrey Harmening:

Plastic is collecting in our environment and threatening our health.

General Mills’s goal of using exclusively recyclable packaging materials by 2030 is admirable. But with only 5% of plastic being recycled in the U.S., this goal is not enough. As the health risks of plasticizers and microplastics become better understood, it is especially important that General Mills do everything possible to limit the presence of plastic in packaging.

As a consumer and concerned citizen, I am urging General Mills to take immediate action and cut its usage of plastic packaging.
