Bananas do not need to be in a plastic bag yet they usually are. A cashier once went to put my loose bananas in a plastic bag and when I said they don't need to be in a bag they come ready wrapped she gave me a funny look!

I do most of the things that you do and in my voluntary class, the first thing that everyone asked to make was fabric Christmas bags. I am lucky to have been given some bits and pieces of fabric so the first week in September we shall start. I make all siblings a book bag/cushion with a book in when I make a quilt for the new baby. Like you, if we end up with one use plastic, we make sure it’s used for several other things. Actually, at 68, I am channeling my fifties childhood and having pleasure in doing so. The only thing I do,which is now recommended after saying it wasn’t needed, is to wash towels and bedding at 60 C to make sure it’s not harbouring any nasties.

The Galapagos Islands are a World Heritage Site yet even here there's challenges with plastic in the ocean, overpopulation and invasive species as well as illegal fishing.

I agree with one use plastics being one of the hardest things to avoid. I do wish there was more traditional markets were things are sold loose. But how do you solve a problem like yoghurt pots?
