does everything have to have so much packaging? I have just spent ten minutes trying to open a package of toothbrush heads for my electric toothbrush. I eventually gave up and tried to use scissors, it look a while to cut off the end of the package, then remove an inner packing only to find the heads were secured down with two plastic clips, these were almost impossible to cut. I am sure that all of this packaging is not necessary, and all adds up to the actual cost of the product. |

And a lot of it ends up in land fill. |

Paula I agree with you. I bought a new battery toothbrush a couple of weeks ago and I had the same trouble. I even reverted to my secatairs in the end and nealy cut myself in the prosess. |

:-D :-D I know , and also the packages for prescription tablets some are so hard to open I am fumbling like an old lady, which I am not (yet). Also another thing that makes me so cross is the where the price is stuck on with adehsive so difficlut to remove it can ruin the package. |

Medicines are and should be difficult to open for the protection of children. |

George dentists recommend electric and battery tooth brushes because they do a more efficient job than a manual one. |

At least the box it was packaged in was presumably cardboard, made from recycled paper and recyclable. But wonder why it was such a large box? Memory cards do need to be protected though as they could be damaged in the post. I suppose that is the price we pay (excuse the pun) for saving money by buying on line. Buying locally would save the outer packaging. You can't win! :-D |
