Way to miss the point.

KTA, one of our local supermarkets, put out an advertising flyer for Earth Day. What eco-friendly foods did they highlight on their front page? Local produce? Organic milk? Seventh Generation soap?
Nope.
Frozen prawns. Bleached white rice. Bleached paper towels. Apples from the mainland. Canned fruit drinks. Tortilla chips. And Dutch beer.
Only one local product, and that’s flavoured sugar water shipped in aluminum cans that have a 60% chance of ending up being recycled in Hawaii. Zero organic products. The products that could be unbleached weren’t. And the majority of them have to be shipped from the mainland.
Way to completely miss the point of Earth Day, KTA.
