dont buy anything with packaging

Posted by admin on May 26, 2009

Try for at least a week (or a couple days to be realistic for newbies) to not buy anything that has packaging (or if it does, it has to be from recycled product or reusable product)

That means everything you buy has to be without plastic, paper, cardboard, boxes.

After trying this, you’ll see just how excessive some of the packaging is.

You can easily buy fruits, veggies, produce by foregoing the plastic bags and use a string tote or reusable bag.

Let’s see how many items you have to do away with because of the packaging.

Packaging on items is out of control with cardboard inserts, with item twist tied or tie strapped to cardboard then covered with plastic. Then, the over packaged items goes into a plastic bag tot ake home. What is the point in all the packaging? Trying to destroy the environment with each purchase?
