Supermarket Plastic Abuse: Overuse Policy Is A Wrap Poem by Terence George Craddock

is there a clear case with substantial on shelf evidence?
to prove a supermarket plastic bag tax profit hypocrisy?
plastic bag use could be reduced not profit taxed dishonestly?

in the fresh fruit vegetable section many perishable
vegetables sit on plastic trays tight plastic wrapped
to give these perishable products a longer life boost?

next enter butchery section meat presented to delight
eyes displayed in choice cuts on plastic trays plastic wrapped
milk is next sold in lovely thick plastic jugs not glass?

view all soft drinks next in plastic bottles not glass bottles
plastic bottles for sauces no environmentally friendly glass
no time to collect clean recycle glass to save environment?

bread next sliced varieties thin thick cut in nice plastic bags
shall we visit our deli all choices in our local plastic wrapped
to increase profit quantities fixed no customer choice service?

everywhere I look plastic containers wrapping is choice to go go
no old fashion paper bags cardboard a not trendy no no no
biodegradable paper cardboard aids environment a supermarket no no?

supermarkets love to charge extra for carry home plastic bags
because plastic is environment bad is this profit taxed hypocrisy?
a partial solution is using brown wrapping paper or paper bags

cardboard boxes; glass bottles for milk or drink to be recycled;
not taxed to max; plastic use could be reduced not profit taxed;
evidence; overwhelming points to supermarket plastic abuse;
