In thinking about this it seems necessary to think about the consequences associated with substitutes such as the greater energy required for transportation (possibly production as well) for glass, aluminum or cardboard (as some examples). Another approach is narrowing the number of plastics used as well as improving the recycling process we have here as well that in neighboring nations. Reducing the amount of packaging so it conforms more closely to what is packages is vital for sure. Thanks for eliciting further thought from me on this. Very interesting and thought-provoking.
