Strawberries costing the Earth

Huge strawberries were on offer at the market yesterday. The WWF is calling to boycott this Spanish produce, because their cultivation is leading to an "environmental catastrophe". The majority are grown around the national park Coto Donana. Germany and France are the largest importers of this water intensive and polluting crop. WWF claims that ”that strawberry cultivation is highly polluting, resulting in 4,500 metric tons of plastic waste each year and pesticide pollution.“ If you buy them before April, they are most likely destroying the Iberian natural milieu.
