Every day, we make tiny choices.
We choose apples, oranges, carrots — and without a thought, we reach for a thin plastic bag.

A bag that will outlive all of us.
A bag that will drift through oceans, catch in branches, and crumble into the earth for centuries.

But what if it didn’t have to be that way?

What if the simple act of choosing a bag could be a stand against waste?
What if Queensland led the way — again — by saying:
Enough.

We phased out plastic shopping bags.
We made mushroom paper bags normal.
We know how to change — we already have.
It’s time to do it again.

I am 17 years old, and I believe in small revolutions:
🌱 One store at a time.
🌱 One bag at a time.
🌱 One quiet choice that matters.

I am asking for Queensland to require paper bag options for all fresh produce.
Not just for mushrooms. Not just for show. For everything. For good.

Paper breaks down. Plastic breaks the planet.

It’s a simple change. It’s a powerful one. It’s a choice we can make — and must make — now.
