I founded Happy Cow Milk to make a difference in dairying. I failed

Because, economics aside, it's a waste, and it hurts the Earth. There's literally an island of garbage, mostly plastic, just floating around in the ocean, killing sea turtles and other cute animals.

You may not care, but some people (customers, as they are known colloquially) do.

I think it's a matter of choosing your battles. It seems short sighted to jeopardize the mission of ethical, sustainable dairy over packaging which can be changed later when you have more leverage as an established business.

The point isn't that the plastic doesn't matter--it's that addressing animal treatment and packaging in one fell swoop is incredibly unlikely to succeed.

It's not just the oceans either. I ride my bike out in the middle of nowhere and I'll always find garbage. It's kinda depressing.
