You know what's killing America?

Shrink wrap.

Everything's shrinkwrapped. I'm opening a box of blank DVDs right now. The entire box was shrinkwrapped, two times. It's a five disk box, but they threw in one free, so had to shrinkwrap the thing twice.

Then, inside the box? More shrink wrap. Each DVD of the jewelcased DVDs is shrinkwrapped, with one of those little plastic tab pulls that you see on cigarettes.

That's a lot of plastic that comes from a lot of petroleum.

And all completely unnecessary. It's the cheap stuff that's going to be the death of us. It's so cheap and we're so lazy and accustomed to it that it's going to be too expensive in the end to clean it all up.

Happy Earth Day.
