I can appreciate the need for packaging to a certain degree to protect the enclosed product, but am amazed by the amount of stuff that goes into my trash or recycling bin that is mere packaging.<br /><br /><br />Lee <br />An A to Z Co-Host <br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904531515058355635.post-66361521653942551622012-04-05T17:07:12.329-07:002012-04-05T17:07:12.329-07:00I am so huge on saving the environment and totally...I am so huge on saving the environment and totally agree with this post.

Terrible waste (and it bumps up the postage cost) plus it comes by courrier instead of ordinary mail!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17072247848409030981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904531515058355635.post-48065476078306676272012-04-05T03:03:31.148-07:002012-04-05T03:03:31.148-07:00Hi Susan,

I do not want them in the first place, and I cringe to think of all the waste. <br /><br />One time when I was studying in France I went to the grocery store and was initially so impressed that everyone brought their own bag (this is more than 15 years ago). Then I noticed in the greeting card section that EVERY SINGLE card was wrapped in cellophane! Every card! First, it made it so you could not read the card and decide which one to buy (these were individual cards). And second, obviously the plastic would just be thrown away. <br /><br />Found your blog on the a to z, will definitely be back to read more! <br /><br />best,<br />MOVMOVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00782183723607923501noreply@blogger.com
