Why are our manufacturers addicted to using materials in packaging that are extremely harmful to the environment? There are so many other options out there. We need to stand up to both American manufacturing and international manufacturing companies and tell them that we do not want their waste! Environmentally friendly packaging should be a mandatory regulation and NOT an expensive option for the consumer. We want all of the products available in our market and made within our country to be packaged in recycleable and/or recycled materials.
