We re-use some shipping boxes we receive along with the crumpled brown ‘butcher paper’ packing material that comes with some items. Wish there were sensible ways to recycle the bubble wrap, besides the landfill.
Wonder if they could develop a sterile packing that could afterward be used as garden mulch for plants instead of going to landfills? Guess that would be too exotic but there must be a solution somewhere among all the things that we cast off.

I burn them along with my sensitive mail and put the ashes in my compost pile. Cardboard sure burns hot. Better than shredding.

“Mail Boxes Etc.” was doing this stuff many years before Amazon existed.
