Week 4: I resolve to find alternatives to plastic fresh produce bags provided at the grocery store - to reduce the number of single use plastic bags I consume.
Date: 27-Jan-09
Do you place the fresh fruit and vegetables you buy into individual plastic produce bags? Using just 4 of these bags a week still amounts to over 200 each year.
These bags pose similar problems as single use plastic check-out bags including wasting resources, clogging waterways, threatening wildlife and littering.
By using alternatives to the single use bags, like the Australian developed, reusable ‘Onya Weigh' bags (onyabags.com.au); by placing your fruit and vegetables directly into your trolley; or by using the grocery store supplied bags more than once, you can join the growing number of Australians who are saying no to plastic and yes to a more sustainable future.
Commitment Statement
I will find alternatives to plastic fresh produce bags to reduce the number of single use plastic bags I consume.
This week’s Green Resolution is proudly supported by Onya Bags
