Synopsis
The idea of re-using packaging is not new, although many people would like you to believe that it was a concept that emanated from Brussels. From the earliest of times, man has been re-using and recycling his equipment because he understood the value and effort needed to produce it. Somewhere, during or after the industrial revolution, we lost our way, in part because fuel and oil became too cheap. As the last Tsar of Russia presciently commented, oil is too precious a commodity to be simply burnt and should be left in the ground for the future of mankind. Although primitive man was not concerned with preserving the environment, his actions made him environmentally friendly. While it was in his self-interest to save himself time and effort, ours must be to save our environment and our planet.
