The Danger of being semi-informed
Please do a little homework. In the 70s and 80s bulk packaging was the rage. Turns out, there was nowhere to store your 96 oz. salsa container. Consumers on the go, especially moms, demand single serve. Shifting demographics to single households demand smaller portions that stay fresh. Great strides are being made in sustainability (check out www.greenerpackage.com). Heck, packaging has been suggested as one of the most effective tools for ending world hunger. Many companies are investing millions in source reduction--thinner container walls, post-recycled content. It's easy to take swipes at bottled water. What do you think the people of Haiti think about bottled water now?
