Please opt out of using plastic to wrap your produce. Instead, choose to use something biodegradable, aesthetically beautiful, non-toxic, waterproof and much cheaper than plastic.  Bundle your fruits and vegetables with banana leaves. Thailand are doing this and people are loving it.

The leaves, which are also humidity-resistant, are wrapped around the produce and tied together with flexible bamboo. Since banana leaves are so massive in the tropics, they are available for free, which saves supermarket owners the expense of plastic. It’s a win-win-win for store owners, the planet and the earth-conscious consumers who can also use the leaves for compost.

This is not a brand new idea. Produce vendors in tropical areas have used banana leaves to hold their products together for decades.

 Please Coles, Woolworths, Aldi, IGA and local Fruit and Veg shops, consider adopting this practice!!
