Your commitment to sustainability rings hollow when I see the devastating impact of your single-use plastics, especially in vulnerable communities in the Global South.<br>Every time I now pick up a Dove product, I'm reminded of the thousands of plastic items your company produces each minute. These end up polluting our oceans and harming communities in places like the Philippines and India, where your plastic waste burns in landfills, releasing toxic fumes.<br>I like to believe that you entered this leadership position at Unilever with a genuine desire to make a positive impact. Now is your moment to truly live up to that aspiration. As a consumer who cares deeply about our planet, I'm urging you to take immediate action:<br>1. Stop selling sachets now.<br>2. Commit to phasing out all single-use plastics within 10 years.<br>3. Use your influence to advocate for these goals at the UN Global Plastics Treaty.<br>Until I see real, verifiable changes, I've made the difficult decision to stop buying all Unilever products. I know many others are joining me in this stand.<br>Unilever has the power and responsibility to lead the industry towards true sustainability. Will you kindly respond to my email and confirm that you are ready to rise to this challenge?</p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/TakeCareForLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TakeCareForLife</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/TakeCareForEarth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TakeCareForEarth</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/StopBurnigThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopBurnigThings</span></a></p>
