Ban plastic wrapping of individual items of fruit or vegetables

What the petition asks
Ban supermarkets from selling plastic wrapped individual items of fruit or vegetables - there is a huge environmental risk posed by this type of single use plastic, especially as most councils across the UK do not recycle it and so it ends up in landfill, or even worse, our environment.
