On this Blog Action Day 2009, with the subject being 'Climate Change', I am going to say something that sounds completely paradoxical, yet makes sense!
When we purchase anything from the market for instance, to lessen our carbon footprint, reduce the amount of packaging used and actually pay less for the total amount of the item; is better for our wallets and more important, the issue of Climate Change; or Global Warming, try to buy in bulk.
Less overall packaging is used when bulk items are packaged. Think of that box of 6 granola bars. It takes six plastic wrappers, and a large amount of cardboard just to hold those six little bars; with way too much room to spare.......
