RE: If only nature would find a way to cover these oranges so we didn't need to waste so much plastic

in #nature8 years ago (edited)

Perhaps nature needs some help? Perhaps engineer could find a way to recycle the plastic. Perhaps using it as feedstock for a 3D printer?
I wrote a book in which they did so. The title is SoulStone available as a kindle ebook from amazon. I'm currently serializing the sequel which is entitled TEOTWAWKI on my blog...@everittdmickey

come see me.

Sort:  

Convenience packaging should bared like this. How much dose it cost peel the orange's in terms of wasted resources ,when left unpeeled you cut out all that plastics packaging ,trucking (diesel),ink(printing). From cost perspective it doesn't make sense. better off shipping It in bulk sacks. There is a such a thing too much convenience. If you can't bother to peel a Orange that say's it all.

that would be your opinion. Oddly enough most of humanity doesn't agree.
