Plastic pollution is an environmental crisis, polluting our oceans and waterways, killing marine life and even impacting human health Supermarkets do not reveal how much plastic packaging they generate, making it impossible to see if their efforts to cut plastic are reducing their overall plastic use Loose fruit and vegetables are more expensive than plastic-wrapped […]
I do it mostly so when I get home I can add to my stash of bags for scooping doggy poop.
It seems crazy to buy a roll of brand new plastic bags for dog poo when produce bags are available, and I’m buying produce. For certain vegetables they actually store well in the bags with a tea towel thrown in, so sure a container, and mesh bag would do the same job, but then I’d also need to buy dog poo bags and that feels like a waste.
I keep the plastic packaging from the frozen Peas and the sliced bread and between that and produce bags I’ve got enough. I could buy compostable/biodegradable bags if I’m worried about waste, but I don’t have access to composting so it’s still going in landfill and it doesn’t break down properly there.
