Get supermarkets to use paper bags instead of plastic!

Get supermarkets to change from using plastic bags to cardboard boxes or paper bags for shopping and when buying fruit and vegetables

Why is this important?

Im sure we've all heard of the huge inpact our use of plastic and especially single use plastics is having on our environment. Destroying natural habitats for many species of animals and microparticles getting into the food chain via fish. If this isn't enough you only have to look at the pictures of beaches littered by plastics that ends up in our oceans. We need to do our upmost to protect our planet and the species we have left. A simple way to do this would be for supermarkets to use paper bags or recycled cardboard boxes they have from packaging, in place of any type of plastic bags. In addition fruit and vegetables that are packaged in plastic bags and sold at a reduced cost, could easily be sold loose as a certain weight for the same cost, that customers can put into paper bags or there own tubs from home. Paper bags take a month to decompose as opposed to 5 -10 years of plastic counterparts. Get supermarkets to change now!
