Sending back unwanted plastic

Submitted by Beth Terry on November 28, 2007 - 03:32.

I've gotten into the habit of sending back plastic packaging and plastic items that come unsolicited. I wrote a blog post about this subject a few weeks ago:

Recently, I sent back an automatic TurboTax CD that I received unsolicited because I'd rather download than use extra plastic.

Whenever I send things back, I include a note explaining that plastic is harmful to the environment and I'd rather not receive unsolicited plastic packaging and plastic items.

Recently, a few other bloggers have started doing the same thing!
