It is reported that a supermarket has offered to exchange one empty moon cake box for three eggs. This is an excellent plan with many benefits for everyone.
It has been generally accepted for years that packing causes huge problems for both people and the environment. Moon cake boxes are a good example because after people eat the cakes they just throw the boxes away. Some people place the boxes carefully in bins but others just dump them in the street without thinking about the pollution they are causing.
The supermarket’s offer makes a difference in many ways. Customers will get something almost free of charge, the supermarket can recycle the packaging, and the environment will suffer less rubbish.
The problems caused by packaging are serious. Offers like this, which involve recycling, are an effective way of dealing with them.
