Plea to Staples

If you want to help reduce the amount of waste in our world you can help by logging into your Facebook account and voting for my video in the Just Means Sustainable Packaging Challenge.

My video is a plea to Staples to use bigodegradable Paperfoam on all of their products that do not have aesthetic value. These include, but are not limited to, data storage products (USB Flash Drives, CD-Rs, DVD-Rs, CD-RWs, etc.) and computer cleaning products (for example screen cleaners and drive cleaners).

None of these products are purchased for aesthetic reasons and therefore do not need to be packaged in plastic for display purposes. The packaging should instead be fully biodegradable and include a picture of what the product looks like.

By making this change, Staples can substantially reduce the amount of waste in the world, significantly lower its carbon footprint, and become a leader in sustainable business.

I would post the video here, but I've been trying to upload for 3 hours now and am giving up.
