Member Survey: Reducing Plastic Use at the Coop
March 3, 2026
How concerned are you about plastic use at the Coop? How much does the amount of plastic packaging influence your buying choices? Would you find a list of the best member-tested, plastic-free products at the Coop helpful? These questions and more are waiting for you.
The PSFC Plastic Reduction Committee invites all members to participate in its work by way of a five-minute (or less!) survey.
Take the survey HERE.
Members voted overwhelmingly to establish our committee in July of last year, indicating a shared concern about the amount of plastic used at the Coop. Since then, we have been busy observing plastic use in our Coop’s aisles, brainstorming solutions together and researching plastic reduction efforts in coops from Albany to Ottawa to Seattle. Now we are looking to you, our fellow worker-owners, to help us prioritize and plan our next steps!
The survey is anonymous and confidential, and we invite all members to contribute. (You can also ask your kids what they think.) Our only request is this: Express yourself! To maximize participation, the survey will remain live until the end of May 2026. We will report on results as soon as they are compiled and analyzed.
If you have any question(s) about the survey, please address them to the Plastic Reduction Committee at reduce.plastic.psfc@gmail.com. And, as always, feel free to share other thoughts or ideas through that email as well.
The Plastic Reduction Committee thanks you in advance for your participation!
