All packaging needs to be minimized and biodegradable.

All packaging needs to be minimized and biodegradable. A huge amount of the waste generated cannot be avoided by consumers. It cannot be recycled either. When the packaging claims to be recyclable the sorting process is generally so complicated that it requires an expert, not something most of us can do. It's often impossible to purchase more of a product without having to purchase a whole new non-recyclable, non-biodegradable container. This is one of the largest contributing factors to microplastics in our environment and waste in our landfills. The next time you go shopping pay attention to the packaging on everything. How much is necessary? How much is biodegradable? How much is recyclable? I don't just mean you can put it in your recycling can, I mean actually recyclable in the United States. We need to force companies to change this. Consumers don't have the power to do it ourselves. We need to fight Climate change and environmental disaster on every front. That means making companies turn some of their profits towards not continuing to make things worse. They will complain. All they care about is short term profits. After all their CEOs won't be the ones struggling to survive. Their workers don't get a say except through you. We need to make changes and we need to do it as quickly as possible. We are on the worst case scenario projected and it looks like it will be worse than that.
