If you don’t buy it, they will change. You can make yourself feel good by saying something, but you can CHANGE things by doing something…

Over 70% of the produce in Canadian grocery stores is packaged in plastic. It is essentially impossible to completely avoid it. Grocery stores have FAR more power and profit than the consumer to move the markets. It is up to them to fix the mess they helped create. Not to mention that produce packaged in plastic tends to be priced lower by weight than it's unpackaged counterparts. Not everyone can afford to boycott.
