Over packing

To be irritated by the by the over packing of goods. Just unpacked some new school shirts and the overall packing seems over the top, lots of card plastic and tissue paper it's just depressing. Do we actually need this as Mums, as school shirts are a done deal?

I couldn't agree more. What a waste!

Shirts are the most over packed item of clothing a retailer needs to step up and change the policy

Totally agree
Over Christmas and New Year my recycling bin was filled to overflowing with excessive amounts of packaging from gifts , food etc
When the bin was full I seemed to take more notice of the layers of plastic, cardboard, paper and bloody polystyrene that are totally unnecessary- it's a tad depressing

I think it's the shirts we all have to buy them, surely there must be a more environmental way to present them for sale.

Oh. I clicked on this thinking it would be about packing too many clothes for a holiday.
