Dogwood Alliance
is kicking off the Fast Food Packaging Campaign
Southern
forests are too important to be wasted for fast food packaging
- Dozens of Fast Food
Corporations are buying Packaging from Southern Forests - 15% of landfill waste is Fast
Food Packaging - The average American throws
out 300 lbs. of Packaging Waste every year “ In 2004, more
than half of all the paper produced in the United States was used in paper
packaging (AF&PA, “US Paper and Paperboard Production,” 2005).”
Join
Dogwood Alliance in challenging corporations to change their habits. Our
forests are too important to be wasted for disposable packaging. With nearly 100 paper packaging mills in
the South, the packaging decisions of these corporations have a tremendous
impact on our forests.
