  • Sustainability

  • I have mixed feelings about Trader Joes. Green peace is a consistent environmental advocate and has called out Trader Joes unsustainable practices many times including its use of genetically engineered products: http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/press-center/releases2/grocery-chain-trader-joe-s-dro In addition, Trader Joe's was recently ranked #16 on the "Sustainable Seafood" list created by Green Peace. From my own experiences, Trader Joe's throws away an excess amount of their products (wine bottles with a single chip) and many broke, resourceful college students dumpster dive to receive perfectly good products. Overall, I feel Trader Joe's has a strong philosophy but the company does not always support its belief in sustainability through its actions.
