The below is a sample letter I sent to a company in which i suggested that they change their packaging policy.I think it is polite even friendly,and to the point. It is my hope that if enough of this type of letter came from us to the producers it could make a difference.What do you think?
Dear sir or Madam.
I am the proud owner of one brand new dorma bed sheets.I am very impressed with the quality of the product,and grateful for the sense of luxury on opening the new package.
What did concern me though,and slightly detracted from the pleasure was some considerations on the plastic covering.
I do appreciate that the packaging added some sense of quality to the presentation, but surly i am not the only one who might be looking for a pure cotton product out of some consideration for the environment and the environmental cost of disposal Surly i am not the only one who realises that whether burned or buried, heavy duty plastic is a real problem?
I am therefore asking you to consider the following ;please look into the possibility of a packaging which not only looks good but which is also benign to dispose of. (compostable).
i thank you once again for a quality product
please feel free to send this sample letter to all of your friends. And get this thing rolling.Below are two examples of excessive packaging.current practice in the uk for disposal of this material is to incinerate it. which causes massive health problems for local populations of people plants and animals. It is much better to cercumvent the problem and insist on compostable packaging
