All the food I eat comes in some kind of packaging, like bags, boxes, plastic tubs, but most of it is either recyclable or we reuse it, like the bags we get our groceries in we save for when we might need a bag for school or something, and the plastic tubs and other packaging food from spud comes in we need to send back to them so they can reuse it. Of course we do throw somethings out but that’s only about a quarter of what we buy. I’m pretty sure most of the packaging chosen for these is to insure that the product stays in the best condition possible while being transported and/or while on store shelves. For instance Pepsi is kept in sealed metal cans to insure that it doesn’t go flat and that nothing can get in it to ruin the flavor, and also you know, to hold the liquid in, therefor insuring that when you buy that can of Pepsi it’s in the best condition possible and not all gross and flat. This can also be a bad thing though, say you bought a bag of chips because you where getting kinda hungry and needed a snack, you then have to throw out that bag therefor eventually adding it to the landfill that will keep getting bigger and bigger as the years pass, and looking into the future, if you have ever seen Wall-E then you will probably know that eventually the landfill while get so bad that, unless we do something, the planet, it’s oceans and even parts of outer space will be covered in the trash we generate. But then what can we do about it you may be asking, I mean I don’t know if you’re actually asking this and/or care but let’s just pretend you’re asking this to the computer or tablet or phone you’re using to read this, well something quick you could do is try and reuse what can be reused like how my mom reuses the shopping bags we get with our groceries, and on that note you could also just buy some reusable shopping bags so you don’t even get the plastic ones in the first place! Another thing you could do is try and buy things with recyclable packaging, I know it’s not always easy to do this but there are definitely ways to cut back on how much trash you generate by not buying as much junk food or by seeing if the cup for that slurpee you’re about to buy can be recycled, which, by the way, the 7-Eleven ones can, I feel like a lot of people throw these things out when they can just be recycled, and the final easy thing you could do to cut back on waste is not just throw that recyclable or compostable thing in the garbage just because you’re to lazy to hold onto it until you can put it in it’s proper place. There are probably other things you could do to but these are just the few things I could think of off the top of my head, and you might be thinking, ‘well those are all so easy, how could they possibly help?’, they can, and if they’re so easy why haven’t you been doing them? (Although I am not assuming you aren’t doing these already I’m just saying there are people who aren’t doing these very easy things and I know sometimes you just can’t and that’s ok but I wanted to be dramatic so…)
