Excessive packaging leads to more material to be disposed of, more resources used for transportation (excessive packaging=higher weight=more gas), and more resources used in producing the packaging material (power, heat, etc...). -From a Packaging Engineer The answer above is very true. excessive packaging leads to higher usage of material meaning more resources consumed such as plants that create oxygen. I work for a packaging company and we try to work with customers who have a product to make sure that they are using only enough material to get the job done. This in turn saves them money and helps reduce the effects on our planet.

∙ 15y agoPackaging can have a significant impact on the environment due to the resources required for production, transportation, and disposal. It can contribute to pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and waste accumulation, especially if not managed properly. Sustainable packaging solutions, such as biodegradable materials or reusable options, can help minimize this impact.

∙ 12y agoAll consumer products have a carbon footprint. That is the amount of carbon dioxide greenhouse gas emissions that it takes to grow, or mine, or produce, or manufacture, and then to package and transport it till it ends up in your house.
It's the difference between buying a plastic pack of carrots that were grown on the other side of the world, and pulling a carrot out of your garden where you grew it yourself.
So "wasteful consumer products" have that sort of problem. That hot-dog warmer that seemed such a good buy, but which you now never use, has made a small contribution to global warming, by adding a little more greenhouse gas to the atmosphere. And the million other people who bought one have done the same!

∙ 10y agoLittering is probably the severest problem related to plastic bags. Nevertheless let's now have a look at the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for the production and incineration of plastic bags.
The carbon footprint of plastic (LDPE or PET, poyethylene) is about 6 kg CO2 per kg of plastic. If you know the weight of your plastic bags, you can multiply it with the number of plastic bag you are using per year. Then you can easily calculate the carbon dioxide emitted by your own usage of plastic bags. See below for some background information.
Take the above relation between kg plastics and kg of carbon dioxide, and you get about 200 g carbon dioxide for 32.5 g of plastic, which is the equivalent of the average plastic carrying bag in our household. Or in other words: For 5 plastic bags you get 1 kg of CO2.

∙ 12y agoMost transport runs by burning fossil fuels (gasoline or diesel). Burning emits carbon dioxide which increases the greenhouse gases and is causing global warming.
Packaging is bad for the environment because it's not biodegradable and if it's not then it will have to be burned which therfore causes co2, Causing greenhouse gasses that can cause global warming. And because we cut down trees and it seems like the more we recycle the more of an increase we get with one, there is actually just as much of a decrease with the other. And the more we cut down trees, the more animals lose there homes (shelter), the more bees and such can't pollinate the flowers on the trees, and when we cut down our trees it takes away the shade that they would give us and the relief of the heat that we would get just by having them there to block the sun. I guess there are many reasons why packaging is bad for the environment but, it's mostly because it's not biodegradable and because of how much packaging we do. And the more that we do this the more resources it takes us. By a girl who copied it from another website. I thought this could be very useful, it helped me a lot. THANX 4 MAKING IT!!!! ;)
False. People have a significant impact on the environment through activities such as deforestation, pollution, and consumption of natural resources. It is essential that individuals take responsibility for their environmental impact and make efforts to reduce their carbon footprint.
Robert Falcon Scott's expedition to Antarctica had a negative impact on the environment due to the waste left behind, such as fuel drums and food packaging. Additionally, the hunting of seals and penguins for food by Scott's team contributed to the decline of local wildlife populations. Overall, his expedition had lasting consequences on the fragile Antarctic ecosystem.
Tornadoes do not have a positive impact on the environment. They can cause destruction to ecosystems, wildlife habitats, and infrastructure. The devastation from tornadoes can take years to recover from and disrupt the natural balance of the affected areas.
Components of environmental science include the study of ecosystems, biodiversity, natural resources, pollution, climate change, and sustainability. The interdependence of organisms in an ecosystem plays a crucial role in maintaining balance and stability. Changes in one species can have cascading effects on others, ultimately impacting the overall health of the environment.
Environmentally friendly packaging refers to packaging materials that are sustainable, recyclable, biodegradable, or compostable. These materials are designed to reduce the impact on the environment by minimizing waste, conserving resources, and reducing pollution. Examples include cardboard, paper, biodegradable plastics, and compostable materials.
Going against packaging can help reduce waste, improve sustainability, and lower environmental impact. By using alternative methods such as reusable containers, biodegradable materials, or bulk purchasing, we can minimize the negative effects of packaging on the environment.
dont no.
it stats global warming
Products that are made from sustainable materials, consume less energy during production, and have minimal packaging tend to have the least impact on the environment. Additionally, choosing products that are locally sourced or have a minimal carbon footprint due to transport can also help reduce environmental impact.
Material consumption creates massive amounts of waste. Consumers buy products that have non-degradable packaging that may sit in land fills for many years.
It doesn't really have any impact on the environment.
No it does not have impact on the environment.
No a bridge isn't good for the environment because the transportation of material to site creates pollution. The Disturbance of eco systems. Also Wastes created by packaging and building materials left on site. There is also noise pollution.
it can impact the environment but what are the reasons
what the environment tourasim
That would depend on the kind of aircraft and the speed it was traveling, at the time of "impact" on the environment.
