Tip #70 Free the fresh produce

Choosing to be plastic-free means you’ll often be choosing the least convenient choice. But over time, these decisions will become a habit.

You’ll learn to become more prepared and planned, and you’ll also consume a lot less and save some money.

Avoid buying pre-packed or pre-weighed fruits and veggies. You know the kind – cling wrapped bananas on foam trays and the like – unnecessary and wasteful. Instead, choose from the loose section and put them straight in the fruit basket or fridge when you get home. Why does a banana need any more packaging than what nature has already provided?

It is all about the choices and making the right decision. When next time shopping for fresh produce choose the one that is not pre-packed for you. This way you will be able to have control over the food you shop for and also you will reduce the plastic packaging.
