What the petition asks
Supermarkets and shops sell most of the fruit and vegetables pre packaged in non recyclable plastic wrapping.
This completely unnecessary waste of un recyclable plastic should be replaced by shops providing either paper or bio degradable bags for customers to pack their fruit and vegetables in.
