Your voices are being heard\u2014loud and clear\u2014in the fight against plastic pollution. To date, more than 5 million people around the world have joined us to tell companies to reduce their production of single-use plastic. Thanks to your demands for change, corporations like Nestl\u00e9 know they need to act<\/a>. And the best way to keep pushing them right now is to demonstrate the systemic change we wish to see.<\/p>\n\n

Join thousands of people around the world in a Global Refill Day on November 6!<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n\n

How to join Global Refill Day? It\u2019s simple! <\/b>Take your reusable container to a supermarket, cafe, or restaurant, and ask for it to be filled with the food or drink of your choice. Take a photo before and after you asked. Was your container filled or not? Share the photos on social media using #ReuseRevolution and #BreakFreeFromPlastic and be sure to tag the company praising or shaming (and also tag @greenpeace so we can share)! <\/span><\/p>\n\n

We need companies to focus on refillable and reusable systems instead of throwaway packaging. <\/span>The Reuse Revolution is the real solution to the plastic pollution crisis<\/b><\/a>, and people everywhere are leading the charge to ditch single-use plastic for good. There are private and public initiatives to implement reusable systems, like the <\/span>Zero Waste Living Lab in Indonesia<\/span><\/a>\u2014just one of many inspiring examples around the world! From new innovations to \u201cold school\u201d ideas, from refill stations to <\/span>zero waste cities<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>even rock stars committing to refill<\/span><\/a>, the energy to shift away from the throwaway culture is on the rise! <\/span><\/p>\n\n

We need to show companies the world is moving toward reuse with or without them. <\/b>It is time to come together and show that a small act, multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

If Global Refill Day has you feeling inspired and you want to do more, be sure to check out the Break Free From Plastic <\/span>Global Week of Action page<\/span><\/a> for even more ways to take action with our allies this November. Just this past month, <\/span>Break Free From Plastic<\/span><\/a> engaged more than 70,000 volunteers in 51 countries to conduct 484 brand audits t<\/span>hat identified Coca Cola, Nestl\u00e9, PepsiCo, Mondelez International, and Unilever as the top plastics polluters. <\/b><\/p>\n\n

We\u2019re not letting these companies off the hook or trusting<\/span> their<\/span> false solutions<\/b><\/a>. Join Global Refill Day and help lead the way toward the future we want.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
