Please replace plastic fruit and veg bags with paper

Please replace the small plastic bags that customers use for fruit and vegetables with recycled paper bags.

Why is this important?

Our big supermarkets stock small plastic bags for customers to select their own fruit and vegetables. These bags are usually thrown away after one use, adding to the avalanche of disposal plastics that are littering our oceans and harming our wildlife.

It didn't use to be this way. Greengrocers used to provide customers with paper bags that were biodegradable. Let's bring back paper bags. Small changes can make a big difference.
