Plastic, plastic everywhere, with no thought to spare

It is the weekend. I order a pizza from a well-known food company. The pizza arrives in a box that is inside a plastic bag. It contains more plastic articles: gloves, forks and knives.

It is a weekday. I visit a well-known bakery and pick what I like and head to the cash counter. The staff member there places each food item, however small, in a separate plastic bag.

I am online. I buy things on a well-known e-commerce site. The objects are quickly delivered to my doorstep, each wrapped in plastic or a similar material.
