Many businesses get away with decisions that are ultimately bad for the environment because they still get money from it. This is because there are consumers that are still buying their products. How can consumers make decisions about what they buy in order to minimize their effect on the environment?

To reduce the impact on the environment, consumers could buy food with recyclable packaging. For example, they can buy food with cardboard and glass packaging, instead of plastic ones. Thus, they can reduce plastic consumption and learn how to make efficient and environmentally friendly purchases.

I agree, with the amount of plastic packaging out there it all adds up and eventually will be too much. We have control over what we are buying and we can take even more control by buying things that are packaged with glass and or cardboard.

As the solutions are listed, the implementation of the solutions need to be listed as well. How would we get people to look for products with recyclable packaging? How would we get people to actually recycle the recyclable products? Solving the problem is not simply coming up with solutions, rather finding ways to implement said solutions.
