I love our planet but I also packed items for my customers in larger boxes. I sent my little tea boxes in a larger box to protect the little boxes for being crushed. I could use form for cushion and use smaller outer box but form has a half life of 20 years.

I care for our planet so much that I am now try to convince my customers to buy loose tea instead of my best selling tea bag. Tea bag creates so much waste, namely - Tea bag’s envelop, filter paper, string, and tea tag.

Obviously I’m going to recycle the cardboard. I don’t really understand how to make money off it, but I think recycling would suffice.

And that’s not the point.

you know you can still recycle all of that cardboard and even make some money off of it. So its not the end of the world.

Um, wow. I’m simultaneously repulsed by the waste and awestruck by the idiocy.

I’d understand maybe if the item was fragile, but already packaged pot handles? That is ridiculous.

I feel your pain FG! I just got rid of a ton of boxes in my barn from my online purchases from the past 6 months and it is just so wasteful how they pack the tiniest item in a HUGE box with the packing material, papers, etc.

I ordered a lipstick from Clinique and they put in a thing the size of a shoebox….I mean, c’mon!
