The other day I bought Hershey's "Cacao Reserve" Truffles, not for the candy, but because I wanted the tin they came in to hold my paper clips. I Paid $2.50 for the little sucker too! Really nice article! It made me take a close look at my life and how often even someone who is aware of the packaging pitfalls can still be suckered in. You are so right!

My secret package addiction is my affection for the Kleenex tissue design boxes. Hey, maybe good design can itself be repackaged into recycling...curiously strong Altoids tin today, push-pin holder tomorrow. If you had to limit your refuse at some point for the green movement, maybe we'd all think about the multi-uses of the packages that we buy, instead of just for the "impulse pretty." Great article!

How true. I think this brilliantly worded sentence sums up rather nicely the gist of the entire article's thrust. Excellent piece that makes us think about what we want, why we want it–yet still want to buy it despite our conscious knowledge that it's "just" packaging.
