Several environmental and consumer groups have launched a campaign to encourage Whole Foods to change its practices on plastic packaging.

             In a recent report by an advocacy group that looked at 50 companies, Whole Foods received an “F” for its efforts to eliminate single-use packaging from its store shelves.

             WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Janet Domenitz, executive director of the Massachusetts Public Interest Research Group (MassPIRG).

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
