#29: Putting an End to Plastic Bags
It’s a small step for humanity and a big step for the environment. Instead of using wasteful plastic to wrap their products, this store wraps them in banana leaves. How brilliant is that? It’s not the first time we’ve seen this – this packaging method is quite common in some parts of the world – but we’d love to see more of it here in the U.S.
This eco-friendly packaging is definitely a step in the right direction. We still have a long way to go, but awareness of our environment and sustainability is growing around the world, slowly but surely. Think about the major waste of wrapping every product in plastic! It’s hard to believe we’ve done that for so many years when there are plenty of other options.
