@gemswinc It's only as wasteful as it is, because we live in a society where printing piles of garbage is profitable to someone. We could have middle-class lifestyles not dependent on fifty layers of plastic and cardboard packaging and disposable everything.
We just don't.
I worry people are taught that doing it right is too hard and expensive, instead of how to do it right.
My wife ordered a new blood glucose meter from Walmart a while back.
It was in a box filled with paper, inside a box filled with paper, inside a box filled with paper. I shit you not.

it's extremely rare to find anyone caring about the waste in packaging.
