Ever been annoyed when you hear someone say the reason they don't recycle is that it is inconvenient? As we all know, most people need incentives to take steps towards a greener lifestyle. For example, maybe a family ensures that their home is built to be energy efficient because they hope to save money in the long run.
Well, apparently American consumers have decided that a disincentive to purchasing biodegradable food packaging is that it is TOO LOUD!!! Check out this article from The Wall Street Journal about Frito-Lay's decision to stop producing biodegradable Sun Chips bags. The company will stop producing them due to the offensively boisterous crinkling sound issued each time a hungry consumer reaches in to grab a chip.
Also, check out this CNN video about a toxic sludge spill in Hungary, which is one of the world's latest ecological disasters. This is an early video, but the sludge has reached the Danube River and now threatens countries outside Hungarian borders.
