Package Free Future

With the environment becoming more and more of a priority in today's society, one man is finding a way to help out. Aaron Mickelson is creating prototypes of products to discover new ways to package them without using excessive resources. He believes that while it is a safety function and provides protection to a product, packaging is over engineered nowadays. Approximately 30% of Americans solid waste per year comes from packaging. That's 76 of 250 million tons. Do you think that ideas like Mickleson's should be funded and created as soon as possible? or do you believe that other issues are of more importance?
