As I took the last banana out of the packet, I was struck today by the irony of purchasing organic bananas from Woolworths and being forced to take their packaging!
I am not sure what Woolworths' policy is on sustainable packaging, so even giving them the benefit of the doubt it still seems unnecessary to have the styrofoam as well as plastic packaging.
There is a lot to be said for being able to pick them out, and have the right to refuse packaging at all!
The other thing that makes the organic bananas that we bought less desirable is that they were packed in New South Wales, indicating that they were grown over east. In general I buy Carnarvon bananas to keep the food miles low and to buy local!
