📣Shoutout to local business Waffle Daddy Luke Andersen for making Delicious Waffles AND for making their packaging Plastic Free!!

Give them a follow and a taste!

More information from Waffle Daddy:

"Single use plastic is everywhere in food production. Finding materials that keep my waffles fresh without piling plastic into a landfill is a constant battle, but I’m committed to keeping my footprint light right now and as the business scales up.

I don’t use any artificial preservatives and only bake in small batches so zero food goes to waste. Plus, my current packaging uses recyclable bags and boxes, freezer paper made from recycled materials, and zero 👏 heavy 👏 plastics 👏

As Waffle Daddy grows, I’m excited to find cleaner, smarter ways to operate that don’t sacrifice quality. 💙 "

Thank you, Waffle Daddy, for taking the time and care to find nonplastic solutions!!! And for making some tasty waffles - Im craving the Cinnamon Sugar constantly 🤤

Dr. Daniel Jaffe's lecture covered some of the topics of his book - Unbottled: The Fight Against Plastic Water and For Water Justic. The information on plastic bottle consumption, marketing and environmental and health risks was eye opening. Check out his book!

💪Call to Action 💪

Beyond Plastics National conducted a three-month nationwide tracker investigation to test Starbucks' claim that its single-use polypropylene (No. 5 plastic) cold beverage cups are recyclable. Not a single tracked cup ended up at a recycling facility.

Misleading customers about plastic recycling deflects from the real issue: growing plastic production that contributes to the plastic pollution crisis and its harm, especially to environmental justice communities where production plants, petrochemical facilities, landfills, and incinerators are often sited.

The real solution to this massive waste problem is not in recycling plastic, but in companies like Starbucks using less of it, investing in reusable cups and foodware, and incorporating safer, more sustainable packaging when disposable packaging is unavoidable.

Sign our petition to ask Starbucks to reduce its use of single-use plastic at beyondplastics.org/actions/starbucks-cups

Help us get 5,000 signatures! We're over halfway there. See less
