Protect The Earth+ 4 years, 2 months agoAnyone else have Target respond yet? (In a good way lol) I sent my letter and after I did research they are in association with Walmart and other big plastic using companies. They said they would tell them sooo 🙂 If you are sending an email, I sent to press@target.com
I think Grace has Brian Cornells address. -

Protect The Earth+ 4 years, 2 months agoHi everyone! This has to do with our plastic bag letter to target. So I don’t know who exactly you are addressing the letter to for Target, but I’m going to make it to Brian Cornell because he’s the CEO of Target, and I think he can change the policy for Target all across the country. So just an idea you could make it be to him since he will get M…[Read more]

After doing some research yesterday, I found they already have around half a million letters of this request, so I honestly think we’re sorta good. Still we can though 😄
-
Wow 😳😂

-
They said they would tell the other companys they are accosiated with too. Once agian, I belive the fee and selling more for a profit will help to make a point.

Protect The Earth+ 4 years, 2 months agoHi! I’m Jisette, and I’m living in Texas. I would like to be an animal curator when I grow up, and for now to help any possible way. Is there any current project we are working on? I would love to help!
-
Hi Jisette! Yep, we just started a project to get Target to ban their plastic bags, or put a small fee on it. We are going to write a letter! 📝

Protect The Earth+ 4 years, 2 months agoHi everyone! I’m writing an essay in my 5th grade class and arguing that schools should educate students on animal welfare. I also found a petition for that too, so if you agree with this, please sign! Thanks 😊 http://chng.it/thtxRgMcDj
-
Wow, that’s sooo cool, great job!!!!!! I’ll check out the petition.
-
They should really educate us and other students about animal welfare. I signed and shared the petition to my family! 🐶
-
Yep. And thanks!
-
-
-
I definitly will sign! I bellieve we should know about them and noot keep rumors going, such as “sharks want to kill us!” I think it’s pretty important we do.

Protect The Earth+ 4 years, 2 months agoHi guys, this isn’t related to the Target letter, but I read this book called Max Einstein. At the beginning there’s not much, but Max (who’s a kid) ends up going to Congo and uses renewable energy to help the little village get electricity, so that kids don’t have to go too mines anymore. There’s also four other books, one is about climate…[Read more]

Protect The Earth+ 4 years, 2 months agoHi! I was wondering if you would like to write to a grocery store or some other store about their use of plastic bags. Comment if you do! Thank you! 🙂
-
Oh that sounds fun! I would like to do that. 🥳
-
Yeah, that’s a great idea! Which store should we write to?
-
We could also write to our state senators since they have more power and can change the policy for all the stores in the state, though that would probably be a lot harder.
-
That would be hard, but that is a great idea!
-
-
-
-
Hai! Sorry im a little late here- And sure! 😀
-
Yeah you have a point, but if that doesn’t work we could start small by doing a store near us or write to our state senators. Wait do we all live in the same state??
-
Idk… I live in NY
-
Oh, I live in Texas. What should we do? Maybe just do local stores near us?
-
Hmm… I’m not sure. Maybe we can just do a simple store like shop rite or target
-
Yeah, they don’t produce too much plastic, but still I think it could work. One time when we were out picking up trash we found one of targets plastic bags.
-
Emerson, I live here too, and I think we have more Walmarts and H-E-Bs here, so it might help writing to them too?
-
-
I live in Iowa
-
Oh, cool. Do you think it would be a good idea to write to target or shop rite, about their plastic use.
-
Because that’s what we’re planning to do.
-
Yep. Unless there’s some other shops you know that produces plastic?
-
Yeah, good point. Everyone try to find a store near them that produces the MOST plastic, so like if target produces more waste then that would be a good choice.
-
Last summer when I was picking up trash I picked up some Walmart bags
-
This all seems like a great idea! I live in Missouri
-
I have never heard of shop rite, but I definitely have heard of Target (it’s near my house in Missouri). That would be a good choice, since they do use plastic bags. Unless we find another place… 🧐
-
So, would Grace like to do target, Claire could do Walmart and I could do?? I don’t know about me, anyone have any suggestions?
-
Or should we all decide on one store because we all live in different places?
-
Maybe we could write to the same store so they would know that multiple people are aware.
-
Yeah, I think we should do the same store. Since if it was just one person for one, they might just say “Oh well ONLY 1 cares about this then we don’t need to change anything.”
-
I agree, and I would love to do this too! Maybe we should all do Target? And are we asking them not to use plastic bags, or what? You could also maybe write to your senators and request for them to put a small fee on plastic bags. We have one here in California so whenever you get your groceries, you have to buy the plastic bag if you want it.…[Read more]
-
Oh that’s a great idea Anna! And yes, we are trying to get people to limit their plastic bag usage, like having people pay for plastic bags.
-
We should do Target, but before we write a letter let’s make sure everybody is on board with Target. 🙂
-
Ok! I’m good with Target.
We might need to plan a little about what we will say, and the way we want them to do on plastic bags, like should they ban it, or make people pay?
-
I’m good with Target, and I don’t think that Target would like the idea of making people pay, but banning it might work. Definitely trying to get them to reduce there plastic bags would help, because I don’t think the whole store would go plastic free, well maybe one day. How should we start writing our letters?
-
Hmm… or we could just suggest both choices in the letter. Banning it, or making people pay for it. That way, we aren’t limiting the way they should limit plastic bags.
-
Yeah great idea! Let’s do that!
-
Ok! And I think I might start writing my letter today or tomorrow if everyone is ok with that. 📝
-
Sounds good! If you want to show it to us before you send it feel free to do that!
-
Oki! 🙂
-
-
I have a question, when you say making people pay for it, what does that mean? Like making people pay for a reusable bag, or making people paid if they don’t bring a bag? Sorry I was just wondering. 😉
-
Well it would be something like California where people need to bring a reusable bag (or Target could provide some) but then if a customer wants a plastic bag, they will have to pay a bit of money to be able to get the plastic bag (kind of like they have to buy it). That way, it will encourage most people to not use plastic bags.
-
Oh, I get it thanks!
-
Np! 😉
-
Should we write to more than one store? 🤔
-
🤔 that would be good so we can get more stores to limit on plastic bags
-
Yeah, good idea. Do you guys want to write to Target, then other stores after that, or just write to all stores at the same time? Well not all stores. 🙂
-
I think that is a great idea! 🙂
-
Sure! We can do that 🙂
-
If we wanted, we can use Change.org and start our own petition. I saw the “start a petition” thing.
-
That would be awesome if we could start our own petition! How many signatures would we need?
-
Hmm… we can just set it to any number for the goal. Then it will show Target (or any store we do) that MANY people care about this issue!
-
When and who should start it?
-
I’m not sure 🤔
-
Yeah I really like that idea! Are we still going to write to Target?
-
Yeah, probably Target. We might write to other stores though. 🙂
-
Sounds like a plan! 😉
Also I think we could start with Target, and then move on to other stores, what do you guys think? -
Yeah, I think that would be great! ✨
-
I really like that plan!
-
Well, is everyone ready to start writing there letter?
-
Yup I am! 😃

Thank you for taking the time to reach out, and share your concerns, and insight about the use of plastic bags at Target.
We do encourage all guests to use tote bags, and paper bags when they can, but do have plastic bags in areas where they are available. We are also always looking for ways we can be more environmentally as well, and currently…[Read more]
