Actually for me, toothpaste is not the big culprit. Frozen food is. Now that I don't eat frozen food as much, my recycle has gone down to 25% of what it used to be. And the waste of from nonfrozen food (fresh veggies) can be thrown into the garden to make compost. Win-win. I do like the idea of the packaging becoming part of the product though so that we don't need the outer boxes on lots of stuff -- you just get the product, no box.Mary (cactus catz)https://cactuscatz.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7488090118671289297.post-30328320369093239262019-02-15T00:54:41.190-08:002019-02-15T00:54:41.190-08:00I can definitely agree with you..no box needed!I can definitely agree with you..no box needed!Indah Nuria Savitrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09951039369516873570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7488090118671289297.post-67370599669670380902019-02-13T13:27:35.724-08:002019-02-13T13:27:35.724-08:00Oh my gosh, I was all for the "NO BOXES"...Oh my gosh, I was all for the "NO BOXES" thing, but now I don't know.

So, unless Alan has a workaround for Colgate and other companies, then I hope manufacturers do not do away with boxes for toothpaste just yet! :) <br /><br />Thanks for joining my WW linky party, my friend have a wonderful Wednesday!Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738079671642137018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7488090118671289297.post-42608454264048739542019-02-13T05:11:32.166-08:002019-02-13T05:11:32.166-08:00Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog ...Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop. ♥Sandeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785788498697004273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7488090118671289297.post-84000386046353373132019-02-12T14:55:58.581-08:002019-02-12T14:55:58.581-08:00I agree with your post.
