PLEDGE: Lobby organic vege producers NOT to wrap their goods in plastic

I ordered our fortnightly deliver of organic food online late last night and it arrived at the usual time this evening. Lovely looking food it is too BUT so much of it wrapped in plastic! The brocolli, cauli, cabbage. The salad greens, lettuce, bok choy and spinach. Even the boxes all the food came in are lined in plastic. To be fair the oranges, apples and kiwifruit were all packed in brown paper bags (diligently recycled as lunch bags in our house - "just like Bart Simpson", says the 7 year old! But that's another story - whatever works.) So my plea is for growers to do without the plastic, especially when the produce is not going anywhere non-organic produce is, and so cant get mixed up. And when it is going where it might get mixed up, cant it be identified in a different way? I realise I have absolutely no expertise in this and no ideas of viable alternatives, but somebody else might!
