I was grocery shopping today and we've all seen this obviously all the time when we go there but this thought popped into my head today as I was shopping.
Almost every damn package of something, is roughly twice the size of what it's contents hold. Cereal, crackers, chips, etc. Not that I really buy that stuff because I don't. But how many trees do you think are used on this stuff when it really literally could be half of that. How much extra plastic is made for the sake of making the product look bigger and holding more goods then it actually does. That's just twice the amount of crap going into landfills that doesn't need to.
Anyhow, don't know why that popped into my head today. Well I did pick up a bag of steel cut oats to look at it. I thought, for $7 that's a good sized bag of organic oats. Then when I picked it up, like 2/3 of the top were air. That bag probably would have made 6 bowls of oats, hahaha, what a rip off.
