I agree. It’s so important to create as little waste as possible. Many Americans have an attitude that if something can be recycled it’s fine to buy it, so They purchas things with a lot of packaging. We need to start putting regulations in place around packaging, provide composting services, and educate our citizens about the impact on the environment of their habits.

@jayna I believe the attitude is worldwide and really hope these regulations will come. I can remember most things boughtvas I was a kid, even 20 years old were not packed single in a box in paper in plastic. There was a supermarket where I could buy sugar, flour, pasta, tea, etc as much as I liked and you put it in a paper bag. I bought milk, yogurt in a glass bottle. Now they start selling bags gor 1 euro which you can reuse for your fruit or vegetables. I did not buy it yet since most is still wrapped in plastic even cucumbers. I do not buy them if they are wrapped like that.
Let's hope for those regulations. No matter what you buy there is too much package around it. 🙁
