Firstly, is it affect or effect.
Secondly, I know there's a plastic bag, renewables thread in off topic but it's a bit big now to wade through and I'm interested in more MTB specific input.
and now the question - when buying bike stuff, does anyone consider the environment at all? Do you care about the materials used and what it comes packaged in?
The industry still does seem to use a lot of plastic but for example a bleed kit I bought recently came in a cardboard box which was fantastic, until it got contaminated with fluid and fell apart. When I wander through the LBS there still seems to be so much still bagged in plastics and personally I would pay a premium for cardboard, paper, bamboo packaging etc but does anyone else? Be also great to see the plastics in use being reusable like woolies bags.
