Instal Planet First Zones in Supermarkets
In the same way that airline passengers are obliged to wind their way through duty-free sales areas, I propose ‘Planet First’ areas inside entrances to stores which require shoppers to walk past products that are, for example, free of palm oil or have no plastic packaging.
Why is this important?
In the present climate of corporate greed, consumer power is more likely to save our world than token schemes by supermarkets or platitudes by politicians. Just as we have ‘Free From’ counters nowadays, the areas I propose can be called ‘Planet First’ zones. Then, at at the exits, provide areas where customers can divest themselves of unwanted packaging. It might work. It might even give a competitive advantage to a store that tries it. It would also be a good test of the public’s concern.
