    Couldn’t agree more! Buy in bulk where and when you can (not always an option due to expense). Environmental cost of products and packaging should 100% be part of the manufacturer an brands responsibility.

    I think it’s going to have to come from governmental level, forcing certain packaging materials out and taxing other ones heavily. I would recommend writing letters to your local representatives.

      That would be a sight to see. And it’s an easy win for a government as it’ll cost them nothing and even save the capitalists money on packaging and logistics.

      More broadly, though, I don’t see this coming from government. Only organised workers have the power to put this kind of pressure on, like they did to secure the New Deal and the welfare state.
