Why is it that we need so much box for so little product? This past holiday season, my kids got a bunch of stuff. Some was for Christmas, some was birthday presents, some was just stuff. Many of the gifts were packaged okay, a box for clothes or a card in an envelope. Then there were the toys. By the time I had unpacked a couple of the toys, my recycle bin was full. Do we really need all that cardboard to protect a product that is 1-inch by 1-inch?
Then there are the cereal boxes and bags of chips. You think you are getting a lot, but the box/bag is less than half full. What gives? Especially on a bag of chips. Not only do you waste all that packaging, your sleeve/arm ends up getting all messed up when you reach into the bag. And then when you want to put the bag away, you have to roll half the bag up! Talk about annoying.

Yeah and all those twisty ties that hold the product in place. You need wire snips because it's impossible to untwist them. They must have 10 year-old girls with tiny fingers making $1.50/day assembling them. As for the trash, do what I do and just throw the excess trash into your neighbor's can.
