The following questions were raised by one of our readers in a comment to another post (thanks, Casey!), so I thought it would be a good idea to address them here. I didn’t want anyone to miss them in case they didn’t read comments to previous posts.
The first question was about how to contact the offending companies. Don’t worry about doing that- we do the leg work on that for you! When we get a reply from them, you will see what they’ve written back to us because we’ll post it here. We will always post the company’s name and a website address (if available), so if you wish to send them something on your own, to let them know that you are unhappy with the way they package their products, you are certainly welcome to do so. The more complaints companies get about their products or services, the more likely change is to occur in those companies’ current practices.
The second question was related to those companies that are doing a good job with packaging, and where those of us who are eco-conscious SHOULD be putting our consumer dollars. Those posts that are made here that are for “the good guys” - those companies who do a good job with saving on packaging waste - will be grouped together, so that you can choose their category from the menu on the right side of the page. We’re working on that feature right now. There will also be the same type of feature for “the bad guys” and for updates on those companies that we’ve contacted regarding. That way, you can read the entire blog, as well as click directly to the categorized posts you want to peruse as well. We’ll keep our “packaging” simple for you too!
Regards,
Waste-Knot
