Too much food packaging

 

It amazes me how much packaging supermarkets and producers use for their food products. All of this hits the dustbin almost immediately furthering the problems with the planet’s environment.

On my first trip to the new Morrisons in York city centre, I was flabbergasted when I saw the above – one banana packaged in cellophane with a polystyrene back!

A Banana already has its own packaging – why add more? Even if you do not view the environment as a concern, what a waste of time, money and resource.

I would like to see much tighter regulations on food packaging to avoid this unnecessary waste.
