I opened an online delivery account with @asda a couple of days ago to have my food delivered as I can’t get to a store from where I am currently working. I was disappointed at the lack of plasticwrap free vegetables available, but ordered the few items that were #freefromplastic namely bananas, carrots, onions and butternut. Imagine my utter dismay when the groceries were delivered and the bananas, carrots, onions and butternut were bagged in….. a PLASTIC bag. Ffs. Seriously.
These supermarkets really MUST up their game. I pointed this out to the driver who said they are ‘phasing the bagging out’. Wtaf does ‘phasing’ it out mean? Over what period of time?
We need DRASTIC action NOW!! have they been living in an alternative universe? Have they missed the Planet Earth programmes? Have they not seen the destruction that plastic pollution is causing our land-based animals, the devastation of our oceans and the creatures that die regularly.? Why do you have to bag potatoes (unless it’s to FORCE us to buy more than we need), or courgettes or mushrooms or tomatoes?
My message to the supermarkets : STOP WRAPPING THE VEGETABLES IN PLASTIC!! DON’T SEND MY VEGETABLES IN PLASTIC BAGS!! PLEASE JUST DON’T. I stopped using Tesco for this very reason. Urgh. @asda @sainsburys @tescofood @coopuk @morrisons @iceland all of you. Please reduce the plastic on vegetables NOW.
There’s been enough media information for you to all get the message. Step Up and STOP 🛑 using unnecessary plastic. If you simply HAVE to wrap your vegetables in plastic, change to the alternatives that are now available. #bansingleuseplastic #plasticpollution #endplasticwaste #endplasticpollution #doitfordavid #saveouroceans🌊 #saveourwildlife🐯🐯🐘🐨🐺🐋🐬🌝⛅🌻 #saveourplanet🌍🌳🌳🌞
