I'm starting to lose the battle.

I've been using the padded envelopes to send things to friends, and despite the cost to ship, it's worked well. People who need the things get the things and I get rid of things.

But the incoming padded envelopes.. from necessary things.. I have been conscious to buy fewer things to decrease the amount of shipping materials, but some things we just can't stop.

And I'm at a stand still of things to give away, so that's no help. I need to dig deeper to find things to get rid of.

That would be nice wouldn't it. Or if the various locations actually said what they were going to use, so you could check. Some of this is coming from big internet retailers, and I think that one of them is more likely to be using plastic, and one cardboard, so I might have to start looking at the pattern, and maybe change my preferred supplier.

I think that the last CD I bought came in cardboard, and that was from a specific local chain, so I might consider using them as my default. I wonder if it is worth starting to contact online mobs and asking how they package things, and start agitating for alternatives.
