I was thinking about this some more today, and I got to thinking. If we just threw our trash into the street, then we'd be more aware of how much garbage we produce. So then people would make more of an effort to create less waste. But is this really plausible in today's society? I think not. There'd have to be a huge societal and industrial overhaul. I went the store the other and bought bread. The bread itself won't go to waste, but what about the plastic wrapping? Sure there are ways I could reuse it, but I can't reuse every single container my food comes in. For this to become reality, packaging would have to be either biodegradable or useful for a wide array of purposes.
