What the petition asks
At last a charge on plastic bags! But UK supermarkets STILL provide little plastic bags for fruit and veg. Cucumbers etc are covered in the stuff. WHY? If you can have paper bags for loose mushrooms, why not for all fruit and veg? Supermarkets must stop using plastic, polythene and polystyrene.
