Sadly there is just way too much packaging being used by manufacturers merely to gain more shelf presence over their competitors and as such we pay for that and then have to simply dispose of it as well.

This issue has bugged me since I read years ago about how Germany banned excess packaging such as those boxes toothpaste tubes come in.
Here in Australia we continue to see obscenely excessive packaging such as those blasted card and blister packs we see everywhere, that are often ridiculously larger than the item inside.
Our governments here are plainly beholden to the companies for this to continue in this supposed age of environmental enlightenment. We have to do more than replace single use shopping bags with double use bags!
