Demand an end to plastic packaging for Amazon

I am an enthusiastic subscriber to Amazon Prime but have been repeatedly disturbed to see how much plastic packaging is utilized. For even one item, it may be shrink wrapped in addition to the initial packaging of the product. They also frequently use plastic packaging (the large air-filled plastic bags) to fill a box.

They could use brown paper which at times they do, but this should be done consistently. Another option is to use shredded paper. Either way, both of these can be recycled and are less harmful to the environment than using plastic packaging.

A change on this order could affect a substantial difference in plastics going to landfill given the scope of business that Amazon commands.

We are urging Amazon to reconsider and repackage in an environmentally friendly way. Please take the impact of your choices seriously as many consumers will be more inclined to use Amazon more if they see a change to less harmful forms of packaging.

Also, we are requesting a box recycling program. This could be as simple as mailers inside the box that would allow for giving to UPS to return for reuse. These interventions would allow for significantly less adverse impact on the environment.

Thank you for hearing these concerns and suggestions.
