Very often we don't realize the importance of packaging. Almost everything we buy today is packaged in some way or the other. Mostly plastic. We might end up buying something which was not even on the list because of its captivating and appealing packaging; a pretty picture sells a million items.
What we don't know is that almost 60% of the household waste that goes in to the bin is packaging waste. Out of which maybe half of it is recycled and the rest of it ends up in landfills, in turn harming the environment on a very high scale. So how about trying to reduce the excess packaging there is and make packaging more sustainable, if avoiding it is not possible.
