Distanced from Waste

For this blog post I am choosing Target in the Hadley Mall. Target is a store that I hope everyone is familiar with, and they choose to distance themselves from waste as much as possible. Have you ever thought about all the packaging waste and the plastics that are thrown out with products all coming from one store. They don’t want you to think too hard about all the plastic sheetings, and the tear away strips and so much more that is on food, toys, and everything else that is packaged. They use paper bags which is a subtle way to nod towards being Green, yet they are covered in plastic in the rest of the store. Have you ever bought a Disney Doorables, the thing is filled with plastic. The box is made of tearaway cardboard that is covered in a thin sheet of plastic. Inside the cardboard there is a plastic tray filled with 7-9 plastic baggies, containing the toys. That is an obscene amount of waste for 7 tiny toys and yet no one thinks about it because Target has distanced themselves from waste.
