Assignment task:
1. Select a product that you use or feel you are familiar with, such as toothpaste, soap, shampoo, or other beauty or personal care products.
2. Look carefully at the packaging, both the primary packaging and any secondary packaging. Describe this packaging. Post a picture, if possible.
3. Is the packaging an important element of the product you have selected?
4. Do you feel the packaging of the product enhances the product? How?
5. Does "sustainable packaging" play a role in the product you have selected in any way? Please explain this. Has the packaging changed over time? Do different products in the same category capitalize on their packaging as being more sustainable?
6. What are your feelings about packaging and sustainability? Do you think about the packaging when you shop for a product?
7. Now consider the issue of Climate Justice. Are there any elements of Climate Justice in Packaging or is this a stretch to see Packaging as having an impact on Climate? Is there a link?
