Ever been to Japan? They’ve been plastic wrapping their fruit for years…along with A LOT of grocery stores in the States.

Perhaps the energy spent by making more regular deliveries of bananas, and by dealing with waste from unsold brown bananas is greater than the energy saved by not using packaging…

Wow. Really nice work, 7-11. If they’re reducing their shipping of bananas, I imagine they’re more than offsetting that by creating the need to create, ship, use and dispose of millions of plastic wraps.

I’d love to see convenience stores offer local fruits like apples or pears instead, and sell fruit at a discount if it’s about to go bad.
