Target: ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
Background (Preamble):
Have you ever bought something and got frustrated just removing all the unnecessary packing material? Styrofoam and plastic stay in landfills for hundreds of years adding to global warming and seeping toxic chemicals into the soil.

To give your children and grandchildren a better future, please sign and pass on this EPA petition requiring all businesses to use only biodegradable packing material.

This law would significantly reduce the landfill greenhouse gases and harmful chemicals left by the degradation of environmentally damaging materials.
Petition:
We, the undersigned, call on the Environmental Protection Agency to propose a law banning the use of environmentally damaging materials and require that all businesses use ONLY biodegradable packaging materials to reduce greenhouse gases and harmful chemicals in America's landfills.
