What the petition asks
We are all aware of the problems that plastic is causing for our environment. Supermarkets need to see that it is now time to change. It is unnecessary to provide plastic bags for loose fruit/ veg and for all bakery products. Over 250,000 plastic bags get binned each day from supermarkets in the UK.
