[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 565722, member: 1233"] Love the song!! I hate the packaging on many things. Are we not supposed to worry about our carbon footprint??? how in Heck does that translate to those cable ties, twistie ties, and plastic non-recyclable clamshell packaging??? I can figure out how to reuse a LOT of stuff. But used cable ties?? Most clamshell packaging? NONE of that is reusable OR recyclable. As for the safety seals, dont' get me started. our pharmacy uses this uber cheap lid that is 2 pieces. THe child safe part only works if the inner plastic doohickey is there AND is the right size AND works properly. otherwise you turn the cap over and it isn't child safe. Not a big deal in my house, where from the age of 2 the kids could open the thngs anyway. the problem with this non-safe lid is that if you gently squeeze, meaning brush up against or put it anywhere within an inch of anything that would touch it, the top just pops off. Sure it screws on, and is supposed to screw off. But reality is that it just pops off and when you have it in your purse and this is the only way it will close? You end up iwth a lot of loose pills in your purse. TWICE we have picked up prescriptions and had the tops come off in the bag. I was left to sort and count four different types of pills - over 100 of each! Talk about unsafe! They put safety warnings on too many things. I remember when I first saw the warning on fruit rollups to remove the plastic before eating. I was in the other college town in my state and the rollups we got at the vending machine had that warning. We thought it was a real sign of the quality of education at that univ, lol! I have yet to see a child who was stymed by a child safe lid. I have yet to find many adults who are not. Makes you wonder who they test these products on, Know what I mean?? [/QUOTE]
