Wanaka Wastebusters have come up with a cute packaging award website to out the worst packaging culprits in the country (and shine a light on the best).
The nomination that resonates most with me is the packages of individually wrapped prunes - crazy stuff.

Plastic-free picnics?
I bought this beautiful picnic lunch in Paris, at the local shops in Montmartre, where I was staying.
It was a charming experience. I bought the bread from the bakers; the incredibly smelly but quite delicious cheese from the little cheese shop; and the fruit from the fruiterers.
And the photo shows 100% of the packaging involved. The cheese was just wrapped up for me in a piece of paper and the blueberries came in that little cardboard tray. I popped the bread straight into my own cotton carry bag, no problem.
Voila, plastic-free picnic.
Whole other story in the UK. This is the picnic I bought from Marks & Sparks in Inverness:
This was the least-plastic-packaging lunch I could come up with after probably 20 mins of prowling around the aisles. And, y'know, supermarkets - really not so charming.
Guess which one was yummier??
