Wasted boxes - NOT amateur radio

According to a recent Facebook post there are 900000000 wasted boxes on consumer products every year in the USA alone. The example is toothpaste which comes in a tube, which is then put in a box, which is just thrown away. What a stupid waste! We need to force companies away from wasted packaging. In Iceland toothpaste does not come in boxes. If they can, so can we.

Perhaps we should all start by leaving the unnecessary packaging in the supermarkets?

Packaging - NOT amateur radio

Well, I am appalled by the amount of wasteful packaging these days. Much of it cannot be recycled either. One UK food supermarket has vowed to go plastic free within 5 years. In my view they all should do this. It is a no-brainer. The big supermarkets have the power to force their suppliers - use it!

Needless packaging - NOT amateur radio

It really annoys me when supermarkets "go overboard" and package things far more than is needed. There is an online petition aimed at stopping this. Sign if you feel the same way. In years gone by we managed, so why not now?
