I would just like to lodge a public complaint about packaging. It’s gotten ridiculous. Christmas? We threw away packaging equal to the mass of toys. This morning I opened Cheerio boxes to take out the Lego race cars inside, and found them not only separated from the cereal by the cereal’s plastic bag, but sealed TWICE inside their own plastic. So I threw away plastic packaging equal to the toy, again.

Manufacturers. This is insane. Landfills are already a problem. Not to mention, shouldn’t that plastic go to some useful purpose? Why did that race car need to be sealed at all, let alone twice? It was already separated by packaging from the cereal.

Stop the madness. Stop over-packaging.
