Has anyone considered the carbon footprint (and excessive waste) of all this single use packaging? Whatever that fluorescent light bulb saves in end-of-line energy use is used up front in excessive packaging. Why has Congress outlawed incandescent light bulbs? Because if people had a choice, they would buy them. Deprived of choice, people are forced to buy the patented technology or go back to using candles.

An everyday concern for me! As a dog owner, the picking up of natural waste and storing it in a plastic bag or Baggie, makes me crazy. While I don’t want to be walking all over it at a dog park, picnic area, etc., there must be a better way to handle this!!
Pet peeve.
