The problems with excess use of plastic have been well documented recently. Further, it has recently been highlighted that even plastics that can be recycled, and indeed in some cases even plastics that do get sent for recycling, still end up causing big problems.
That being the case, surely it makes sense for us to see if there are sensible steps we can take to stop using plastics where it is sensible and reasonable to do so? I mean, I'm not asking for us to go to crazy lengths here - but where there's something that doesn't need an additional layer, we could maybe not go to the time, effort, and cost of adding that layer and then adding the time and effort of me (or in this case LC) removing that same layer before sending it for recycling.
In short: bananas already come with a perfectly good skin to protect them against the elements. Maybe they don't need to come wrapped in a plastic bag?
