Let's Thank Target!

 

Target’s decision to drop net-cage farmed salmon from their stores

across the United States proves the power of our collective voice as

consumers demanding sustainable products and business policies. Your

support in this campaign has helped pressure corporations to change.

Take this opportunity to celebrate a victory and vocalize your

appreciation for Target’s decisive action!

 

Send an email or fax to Target CEO Gregg Steinhafel, thanking him for

acknowledging the destructive environmental impacts of the open net-cage

salmon farming industry and making this major contribution to the

sustainable seafood movement. Cut and paste the text below or send your

own words of appreciation.

Thank You!

 

 

Dear Gregg Steinhafel,

 

I applaud Target’s recent decision to discontinue the sale of farmed

salmon in all stores across the United States.

 

Acknowledgement of the impacts of net-cage salmon farming by a major

retailer and the subsequent removal of this product from your stores is

a huge step forward in the sustainable seafood movement.

 

It is this kind of corporate responsibility that consumers are

increasingly expecting from the businesses they rely on, and I happily

commend Target for showing such leadership.

 

Sincerely,

You!
