It's very tempting to throw things away or even drop them in a recycling bin when we are done with them. Is there a better way?

Wasting Plastic on packaging
Companies are using too much plastic for packaging items bought in stores. Items such as action figures, Barbie dolls and other toys are packaged in such a way that not only is it hard for them to open, but is also harmful for the environment. Other things such as shipping items are thoroughly wrapped in plastic and Styrofoam to package items in it. The shippers do not need to waste as much as they do when sending items. If they pulled back a little bit while packaging things, this could help our earth in the future. Companies should cut back on their use of plastic to conserve our planet.
