I've really tried to cut back on purchasing things I don't really need, or that won't last more than a year. We buy so much stuff just because it is neat and new.
But ya, packaging is a major problem. I like that Amazon has gone from plastic bubble mailers to the paper ones. So much stuff comes with layer upon layer. Do I really need a plastic cover on the plug of an electrical cord, that's wrapped with a twist-tie, inside a plastic bag? Instant garbage.
