"Hi, Karen here, I had a small step today in reducing my plastic waste.
I took my own containers to Donohues' Butchers and they were very happy to put all my purchases in them, no plastic bags.
Please support our local businesses that help us help our environment!"

Ask your butcher if they will accept your containers - if not, either change butchers or remember to take along your own reusable carry bag. Ask them to use this instead of a (usually) single use carry bag; or just accept the paper wrapped parcel/s!
Footnote - there were some thought provoking comments to the FB post, including 'Absolutely, but the single most thing a person can do to help the environment is to stop eating meat. I just thought it was a tad ironic that it was at a butcher’s shop!' Perhaps Karen's post should also be added to 'Hot Topics and Kitchen Table Conversations'.
