Snap! Plastic pack the same way, no more please.

Lets ask better questions of everyone including suppliers.
The world produces 170 million tons of plastic a year. The projections are that we will increase production and use three fold by 2030. What!
Stop, please we need to get to the source and causes. We need to stop today and take a new approach if you care about all life.
What`s up!
Lots of plastic in the Eco-system and it will only increase. Don’t rely on recycling alone as the markets are drying up, practicability and we are lucky to recycle 14% globally at best.
1/ Can we get all companies that use any packaging to commit to investigating options now?
2/ Can we get companies that use plastics to employ people who are committed to think differently about preserving supermarkets and take away businesses sales into eco options that are not oil based?
3/ Can we get companies to employ technical people from bio plastics or other none oil based disciplines with better experiences on the practical options in wrapping, presenting and providing safety to our foods and beverages? Take away and supermarket packaging is from few minutes to months( on shelf) of use and hundreds of years of damage.
We need environmental justice. Animals don’t produce waste that can’t be assimilated back to Mother Nature and they are really suffering and dying. Famous people and heroes are not born into roles they simply stand up, be known for a form and swim against the tide, to lead.
It’s uncomfortable and yes you think about the bottom line. There are options. There are leaders that will emerge. There are brands that will embrace us as people and nature that will prosper in so many ways.
What’s even more concerning is that your employees also live in the same place we do. What are they thinking about your company and culture?
Let’s talk, ask better quality questions and act to deliver a better process and pack today.
