Delivery to Top Five Polluting Corporations in Canada
For the holiday season, Greenpeace volunteers delivered gift boxes in person to the offices of Canada's five top polluting corporations – Nestlé, Tim Hortons, PepsiCo., The Coca-Cola Company and McDonald’s. On behalf of the growing movement of people across Canada working to stop the plastic epidemic at the source, each company received its own plastic waste collected by volunteers on the streets of Toronto and during brand audits across Canada. "The gifts we delivered today are symbolic. It’s only a fraction of what these companies are giving our planet: billions of single-use, throwaway plastic that will pollute our environment for generations to come. Plastic pollution is a global crisis and relying on recycling won’t cut it. Our systems cannot contend with the massive number of throwaway plastic items that are produced every day in Canada and around the world,” said Rommel Bellosillo, a Greenpeace volunteer who was part of the team who delivered the gift boxes.
