Gone Green


Dear Kraft Foods,

Since our last communiqué we have continued to collect plastic debris from one kilometer of one beach, Kehoe Beach in the Point Reyes National Seashore.

To date, we have found many hundreds of the little red plastic spreaders used in Kraft Handi-Snack cheese and cracker kits. We are writing to ask once again that this bit of the plastic effluvia be eliminated from the flow into the oceans.- perhaps by making it from something sustainable like bamboo.

You can imagine our delight when last month we found one of your little sticks in GREEN plastic. “Kraft’s gone green!!!” we exclaimed. Maybe you are getting the message after all? However, dear Kraft Foods, you remain unclear of the concept.
