Rejected petition Remove plastic packaging on fruit and vegetables in supermarkets

Rejected on 10 August 2018

Plastic consumption is creating an increasingly damaging impact on our planet. Fruit and vegetables are fresher and healthier outside of unneeded plastic packaging. Across the world, fruit and vegetable are loose with the option of a paper bag. I urge this country to take a stand against plastic.
