‘Close the loop’

To the editor: Each morning on Leelanau Peninsula I rejoice having the opportunity to steward God’s Creation and reflect on Genesis 2:15 “The Lord God took the man and settled him in the Garden of Eden to work it and to take care of it.” In February, the Center for Climate Integrity published “Fraud of Plastic Recycling,” an informative, comprehensive, credible and useful report on a topic that needs to be clarified, and states: “Big Oil and the plastics industry — which includes petrochemical companies, their trade associations, and the front groups that represent their interests—should be held accountable for their campaign of deception much like the producers of tobacco, opioids, and toxic chemicals that engaged in similar schemes. This report lays the foundation for such a claim.” Our food system uses plastic packaging extensively and the report outlines the issue, yet it’s for us to take necessary actions engaging with our grocers (Meijer, Tom’s Food, Hansen Foods, etc.) to advocate for closing the loop on plastic packaging in our food system and accept washed plastic food bags and containers.
