The Ethics of Packaging

I must be in the 6%. To show more effort? What does that mean? Social? Fair trade? Huh? Most people like to see environmental, but the other attributes for packaging? Oh, puleeeeeeze. I rather suspect that the architects of this survey worded it such that if the respondant answered affirmatively to any of the three attributes they went into the "YES" column. OR'ing the results to distort, spin, skew the statistics into their agenda.

What I want to see in packaging is packing material that does not require me to use really sharp tools to open and risk eviscerating myself in the process trying to cut through this really tough, thick plastic. Ugh.

"In the minds of many consumers, concerns about environmental and ethical values are closely related"

How "many" consumers? Consumers consume and most wouldn't recognise an ethical value if it bit them. They want to read soothing comments on packages that make them feel better about themselves without actually having to go to the trouble of taking a good look at the world around them.
