Clamshell packaging is being phased out. Finally. I can't tell you how many times my hands got cut on jagged plastic. :|
The main reason is because the plastic that is in clamshell packaging is not recyclable.
Now if they could just find a way to stop making those AC Adapter/Plug combos. >:(
Yay. I freakin hate those packaging's.
What a stupid reason. Recycling isn't even worth the trouble.
Finaly I hate those

We're so worried about using energy, yet we waste it by recycling things that cost more to recycle than to produce new versions of (except for aluminum). We've been told bullpoop about landfills being horrible, yet it's been proven consistently that they're perfectly sanitary. Hell, they get converted into beautiful golf courses once they're filled. Landfills will run out? Er, no. The amount of land we've used so far is amazingly minuscule. We won't "run out" of landfill space for ages upon ages, and guess what? There will be new land to use by that time as old landfills degrade.
Recycling is a loss. It's a waste of both energy and money. And by the way, if you're so worried about the environment, talk to the people at recycling plants and find out what sort of emissions are being shot up into the air from those plants.

Recycling is a peeve of mine. Sorry. But yeah, I'm glad I won't be cutting myself on those anymore.

The only time I recycle is when I am at school.

My school doesn't even recycle. The stuff in the recycle bin goes right along with the stuff in the normal trash.

I could care less, but you can get paid for recycling, and that way they can manufacture less cans and crap.

Every time we cut down a tree, normally we'll plant one. We aren't cutting them down fast enough to destroy other-than-human life.
They aren't recyclable? It's intercourse ing plastic, it can be melted can't it? What's in it that makes it not?

Chemicals.
Besides, it's not like paper. Plastic cannot afford to lose any of its qualities like paper does.

Doesn't that make everything recyclable?

We actually plant more than we cut down, so we're gaining forests. Pretty cool, I must say.

And then by doing that to get paid, you help our government to spend even more money and energy on wasteful procedures, thus stifling the economy's growth.
Great job! ^__^
FYI, don't you find it ironic that recycling bins are made out of plastic? :D
I do not recycle, the only two things that should be recycled are metal and paper.
Random Fact: Plastic is made from Oil.

Can I hear irony?
Also, I'd rather my money be in the hands of our government than most others.
Finally, I don't have to jab at the packaging with scissors anymore.
Yes!
That stuff was a pain in the ass to open anyways... T_T
