You're describing concern trolling. Aka FUD.
Now that we're all recycle happy, I'd love to iterate.
Perhaps simplify, to reduce the kinds of plastics used, to simplify sorting and separating.
Packaging and shipping could be greatly reduced. I regularly receive a box within another box. Why not just send me the original box?
Why are products shipped to me (vs bought retail) still using theft (shop lifting) deterring plastics cases?
Why are over the counter drugs still triple sealed? There are no children in my house, why are bottles still childproof? Why are 30 tiny pills sold in a big glass jar? Why not just use ziplock baggies for everything?
