Are these guys crazy??? Wouldn't it be great if they'd step into the direction which could make them stand out among these 'convenience stores' by doing the right thing, namely 'greening' themselves? I guess (although I also have to hope) that another company will soon pick up the slack and get a lot of business from consumers who care.

They also are good for you. This position on packaging is absolutely insane. Any company working to reduce food waste should be cheered on rather than this. Ridiculous.

It would be great if 7-11 could be convinced to sell local organic fruits instead. Transporting tropical fruit thousands of miles really isn't sustainable.
