Notes About The Poem

Garbage - Wasteful Packaging

Our packaging is simply wrong
To hold things in place, safe and strong
The plastic hugs tight
The cardboard you fight
To open these products takes long!

And when you are done, you will see
The thing you had purchased might be
As small as your thumb
While you face the sum
Of valueless outer debris!

Though this is just one type of waste
We could conquer this one with haste
Sell all products bare
No double-wrapped care
See tons of sales garbage erased!
