Climate Scam

[Nerb]

I only wish that the business paradigm in our country wasn't solely centered on profit growth.  You see, like many other great ideas, if it won't make the rich richer, it's not considered "viable business" and must be marginalized if not utterly destroyed - as a waste of 'resources.'

It would take a smart business person who could drive the eco-value philosophy home while saving consumers money, giving them the chance to "virtue signal" while making enough profit to keep the ball rolling to start franchising the concept and to create a new way of consuming, transporting and storing everyday goods in many countries. Heck!.. Imagine how much home space would be freed up in just a kitchen alone with smaller fridges and freezers and fewer cupboards? Just food for example and a simple container without all the wasted space of extra packaging. Start withy the essentials to prove how well it can work and maybe the big brand names would jump on board with less resistance.

I wish I had invented "Tetrapak" all those years ago.

In the "old days" there were shops with jars and boxes on shelves and sacks on the floor. Most purchases went in paper bags. Health and safety killed that one but it was a wonderful experience that gave personal service, good value products and a sense of tradition that cannot be found these days. That kind of scenario with limited modern packaging would be inspirational again me thinks. Evolution of the self-serve shopping but in the fixed dimension packaging I mentioned earlier.

Shopping carts would be smaller too and get a more than needed makeover from the sort that ends up drifting around car parks and lying at the bottom of rivers.

Perhaps I'll start a creative project to come up with some ideas. I used to work in packaging and design. Might be fun and the ideas are whirling at the moment.
