I agree with 'jo', that designers in the food and other consumption industries could do better. Plastic bags are indeed a huge unnecessary waist in our regular shopping ceremony but compared to the avoidable packaging only a small part of the whole. Why are we still using so many plastic bottles when eco-friendly Tetra Pack could be used instead or why are disposable
batteries still in production when rechargeable ones are nearly as expensive. Why do we find vegetables like coconuts in a plastic packaging. Why do cables or earphones in Currys need a packaging that is more then ten times their size? This are Questions the consumers should ask the big superstores as they ask to avoid plastic bags in order to wash there faces green.
gracefully how much fun and how quick it is to prepare food. A lot of ready made meals and their packaging would become useless if making your own food would become more popular.; . For the sake of quality we should be aware that pre-made meals, graded products and alimentary that is not in season has to deal with chemicals to make them last longer. For instance: I love Italian Pesto sauce, that contains graded parmigiana cheese, basil, olive oil and nuts; but dislike the ready made ones in the market as they contain chemicals to make the cheese and
the nuts last. I would love to buy pre copped basil in olive oil (as most chefs store it in there kitchen) and chop the cheese and nuts my self, but it's impossible to find this simple mixture in the mall.Designers instead of working on an other microwaveable dish could show the unessential need, the overload of preservatives and especially the over packaging of some products and introduce attractive alternatives as with the upcoming environmental awareness it's been realised that greener products are not necessarily bad for the market.
