We are a group of fourth year nursing students, lobbying a local London grocery store to install hand hygiene stations! We would like to implement these sanitizing stations throughout the entire grocery store with signage at each station to bring about awareness and enhance utilization.The idea is to sanitize before, during, and after your entire visit to the grocery store to reduce the transmission of communicable and infectious agents. The current outbreak of H1N1 has triggered a global response in terms of personal protective measures. Shopping carts are a reservoir for bacterial growth and viral transmission. Cleaning your hands is the most appropriate and effective method of combating the spread of H1N1 and other harmful germs. Our goal is to reduce the transmission of harmful microorganisms that cause illness and disease, and promote healthier lifestyles and futures! By signing our petition, you support our cause and want to implement this change in our community!

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people care about this as much as we do. This momentum belongs entirely to the community that stepped up to turn a small idea into a real conversation.

It is such a simple thing to do and would keep everyone in the community so much safer. Hope they listen to you guys.

Great idea. Everyone touches those carts and it is a breeding ground for germs. Grocery stores should have been doing this ages ago.

Should be mandatory everywhere honestly. The amount of germs in public stores is gross.

Good luck with this! With how often people get sick this winter it just makes common sense to have sanitizer available.

Finally! Those cart handles are absolutely filthy. I always carry wipes but it would be so much better to have a station right at the front.

YES PLEASE. I hate grabbing a cart and wondering who had the flu before me. Do it.
