Solo carrots
We’ll be coming back to the fresh produce section a lot in this article, as it seems to be the place where good ideas go to die, and plastic packaging has a hold on everything. In this case, though, we are rummaging through the boxes of meal delivery company Hello Fresh. They send out the ingredients for you to make dinner.
It appears that they may have gone overboard on the packaging here, though. While it’s helpful to have just the right amount of ingredients delivered to you, to reduce waste, wrapping the 4 carrots they’ve sent individually in 4 plastic bags seems a bit counterintuitive. After all, carrots are pretty robust all by themselves.
