WE'RE LEAVING POINTLESSLY PACKAGED FRUIT AND VEG ON THE SHELVES. ARE YOU WITH US?

On average, each of us throws away about 200kg of packaging each year. That’s 200kg of packaging that’s going to outlive all of us. We need to cut that number down, and a good place to start is with fruit and veg that doesn’t need packaging in the first place. Since when do our bananas, avocados or apples need a second layer of packaging outside their natural protective outer layer?

Let's send big supermarkets all over the world a message that they're forced to act on. If they try to sell us fruit and veg that’s pointlessly packaged, we’re going to leave it on the shelf and they won’t make money.
