    Good gosh I’ve always hated how I often can’t reuse packaging material and/or containers for something else. I would want to but (1) I get too many of them, (2) they’re sometimes too dirty (for various reasons) to be able to reuse easily, and (3) even if I could come up with ways to reuse them I’d also have to convince people I live with.

    We need to reduce the amount of stuff from further upstream, rather than just having consumers try to do all the three R’s by themselves.

      Absolutely! The easiest way to not throw things away is to just have less things to throw away to begins with.
