Re-think Packaging!
I decided on creating a new development map for my project. After researching more on the subject it is our responsibility as designers to create better packaging. LESS IS MORE! How can we reduce the processes of manufacturing packaging? How can we reduce the materials? How can we create new behaviors in our consumption that relate to packaging? Please do comment!

Observation #1
I am collecting random garbage. The first thing that I noticed is that everything that I collected functions as packaging. I cleaned it and being analyzing it. I am interested in the processes and materials of it. A package for yogurt uses plastic, aluminum and paint. A beer bottle is created with glass; the cap is made out of metal and has a rubber piece inside. It also has paper with glue outside of it. Each process and material used in a package is using a lot of energy and resources that we cannot recover. I want to explore this furthermore in the future.
