Will you Drop A Letter Tomorrow at a Fast Food Restaurant?

Will you be going past a fast food restaurant tomorrow? Join us!

Just a friendly reminder about the National Letter Drop for the Fast Food Packaging Campaign tomorrow, July 1st. Letter Drops are a tried and true method to get the attention of executive decision makers. We deliver the letters to the individual store managers all over the country, and then those store managers report about our letters to corporate headquarters. When they get reports in from all over the country, they'll know we've kicked off this campaign with a bang!

Sign up here, http://dia.dogwoodalliance.org/da/signUp.jsp?key=3449&t=nwTemplate.dwt, or email me at eva@dogwoodalliance.org.

We're all really excited about this campaign, since fast food packaging is one of the HUGE industries buying paper packaging from Southern Forests and fast food packaging is so extremely wasteful.

Please join us! It's easy. I'll send you everything you need to help make a difference:

a. Sample letter to be left with the store manger-try to print it on post-consumer recycled paper if you can, available at Staples and Office Depot
b. The addresses of the 11 Fast Food Junkies, so you can choose who to drop your letter with. Odds are there's a fast food restaurant near you, and you'll be able to take your pick. Just to name a few,Taco Bell, KFC, Long John Silvers, Pizza Hut, Bojangles, and Arby's are on the list of companies buying from unsustainably managed forests across the South.
c. Talking points for the Fast Food Packaging Campaign
d. Factsheet for the Fast Food Packaging Campaign.

Please let me know if you plan to drop off a letter so that we can keep track of campaign activities.

Again, sign up here:
