  1. @drinkingpony No packaging is best packaging, but it's not always realistic. Shopping bags are the least of the problems when half of the products you buy regularly are in plastic containers. Beauty and hygiene products are the worst, like tampons with plastic applicators, cheap disposable razors (because people are afraid of safety razors for some reason), makeup containers with "free" (garbage) sponges and mirrors and pretty much every soap and shampoo bottle. I wish there was a vending system for soaps. Food is a whole different problem due to health and safety concerns and doesn't seem completely solvable. Plastic is one of the best ways to preserve perishables.
