We're being urged to ditch plastic packaging at supermarkets today.
The "Shop and Drop" campaign is asking people to shop as normal - and then take off the excess plastic packaging and leave it at the checkout.

"We're just asking people to shops as normal in their local their supermarket, then when they've paid at the checkout to take off any unwanted packaging that they don't like and very politely give it to the cashier.
This is a way of showing supermarkets that people are sick of plastic and we want them to take steps to reduce the amount of packaging they use."
Many attribute the BBC Blue Planet series for bringing home to people the scale of the plastics problem we face and the affects it's having on our planet.
