Homebrand is a company that is convenient for buyers and is just as cheap. Homebrand sliced cheese is a 24 pack of individually wrapped cheese slices, and the waste is astonishing. When layed out on a table the plastic would be twice the size as the cheese. The process for disposal of this in a clean way would be extremely difficult as the cheese tends to stick to the plastic meaning some might put the plastic in the wrong bin. And the chances are if someone is buying cheese that has been sliced, wrapped and then wrapped again for our convience they will not spend the time cleaning cheese of of thin, long pieces of plastic.
This overuse of plastic is what causes us to be polluting our environment is such a dreadful manner without even noticing because it has been made the norm for us. The production for a plastic bag is horrendous and damages our environment drastically, "The amount of petroleum used to make a plastic bag would drive a car about 11 metres." We need new methods if this is how we plan to live sustainably (see WHAT TO DO?).
