My vision of stuff in the future

If nearly 75% of all material produced in the world return to nature in less than a year something needs to be done. We waste too much stuff it's as simple as that.

Everybody talks about McDonald's and how stupid it is that they use plastic cups and knifes and forks. It's stupid your right on that but it's just the top of the iceberg. We buy every day food to our homes. Everything is packed in plastic. We buy a new pair of socks. Those are ofter wrapped in plastic etc. I'm sure you get the point.

So my solution is the tupperware stuff. What if we would start packing all our daily and weekly groceries into these re-usable plastic containers. I really mean all; serials, cookies, bread, cheese, ham, salt, pasta, tennis shoes, cameras, phones, computers, everything!

There would be different size of plastic containers. The idea would be that all these containers had a deposit (f.ex. 20 cents-2 euros). The whole deposit thing works really well in Finland with bottles (over 90% return rate) so I see no reason why it couldn't work with other daily products. Recycle baby!

Yes I know that this idea would require a total reconstruction of our current production line of stuff and it sounds absurd but the fact that 75% of the things we buy go to trash is the thing that is really absurd!!

Of course this idea doesn't work unless everyone agrees to join this campaign. 20 years ago this idea could not have been done. Nations were too distant from each other. Then came globalisation and warming of the planet. There is a reason why the world is smaller than ever before. It's really time for us all to start using tupperware.

It's not as ridiculous idea as it first sounds. Here is why: Thousand largets companies in the world produce 80% of all the industrialized products in the world and these companies control 70% of the world trade.

I think it's time for these companies to show that they are not the ultimate evil in the world like many people think. These thousand companies are the key to our plastic lifestyle and without their co-operation on this big challenge we're all going to suffocate with plastic bags wrapped around our heads. These companies have more power than any country in the world. If they say tupperware is the next standard for storing peanuts then it will be!!!
