If the proportion of plastic-packaged goods in your life hasn't reduced then you (unlike most people) clearly don't buy stuff on amazon. Or from big-box retailers.

The other day I bought a product from Home Depot that had a glued-in-plastic window in a cardboard package (this makes the cardboard unrecycleable). It looked so alien. I hadn't seen packaging like that from a major retailer in years.

Evade? Never. Reduce? Already in progress. Adjust your focus.



Amazon does not have a shop in three out of the four European countries I lived in, including the current one.

Edit: technically, it operates in two of them, having both some warehouses and R&D offices, but does not have a storefront for them.
