This is an excellent example of the many ways to look at sustainability. Do you focus just on the pollution potential? Or do you look at the other factors?

If you find yourself in a position where you need to decide between several environmental issues, I can relate to the challenge that presents.

What I would recommend is that you really think it through, make sure youare not greenwashing, and take a step forward!

There is no perfect sustainable packaging, but instead, make the best choice that you believe in most and that has the proper proof and/or documentation that it is what it says it is.
