People who don't understand recycling.

You know what's crazy?  There's a ridiculously large amount of recycling bins in this world.  Now, most people would agree that this is a good thing.  But why does so much recyclable material still end up in landfills?  Because people don't really understand what is recyclable.  The other problem, people put so much trash in recycling bins.  They don't understand that food is not recyclable, and the same goes for most styrofoam.  I also don't understand why manufacturers don't make more things out of aluminum.  Although heavier and more expensive, aluminum will always be recyclable.  It doesn't rust (in the traditional fashion), it looks amazing, and is quite strong.

Over-Protective packaging.

You know that feeling. Unwrapping a present or getting a new toy and wanting to play with it immediately.  You're just so excited about how much fun the new thing will be!  But one thing stands between you and said toy.  The ridiculous blister packaging.  The sharp, strong, seemingly scissor-proof plastic packaging.  I understand that it's supposed to protect the product until it reaches the consumer, but it also protects the product from the consumer.  I can't count how many times I have stabbed myself under my fingernail with a sharp corner trying to open something like this.  It's also ridiculously loud, but I'm guessing that's to protect against theft inside a store.  Either way, there are so many better ways to pack an item.
