Rejected petition Supermarkets to use paper bags in their loose fruit and veg area.

Supermarkets currently use plastic bags for customers to put loose fruit and vegetables in. These bags contribute to pollution and can easily look like jellyfish if they get into the ocean and thus be mistaken for food by turtles and other animals.
It would be easy to replace plastic with paper.
