Here’s news that everyone in Berkeley should be aware of:So many in Berkeley think that as long as they put all their plastic, regardless of the # (on the bottom are 1, 2, 5, etc.) and even plastic wrap, in recycling they’re protecting the environment. If people knew there’s no getting around the negative impact of using plastic, for packaging, etc, they may look at how to decrease consumption.  

My pet peeve is Trader Joe’s, and its incredible popularity here in Berkeley, yet the over-packaging that so many of its products use. Another over-use is plastic water bottles.
