Dingle!
Maybe I just missed all the talk, but where are all the demands for manufacturers to cut out waste that is mainly used to make items look pretty when sitting on a shelf? I'm talking about the ridiculous amounts of plastic, cardboard, twist-ties, clips, etc. that accompanies the actual toy, that goes directly to the trash can or recycle bin upon opening? We're banning straws, but when I open my son's Bakugan, there's significantly more packaging than there is toy. The little dollhouse my daughter got for her birthday had almost a half a cubic foot of cardboard and plastic tie-downs that went straight into the recycle bin (and it took me way too damn long to open, but that's a different story). Hell, even the cologne my wife bought me was wrapped in plastic inside a box, inside another cardboard sleeve. The amount of packaging that accompanied the tiny bottle was almost laughable. I understand the challenges with marketing, presentation, shipping, etc., etc., but at what point do we start to demand that these companies start to be just a little more responsible? Ok, I'm done.
