A container just puts the problem out of sight for now. Wouldn't a better system to collect and reuse them stop the waste for good? We need a real fix, not just a place to stash the mess.

That bit about bold colors and simple shapes is so true. My friend Liz is an artist, and she had a full moment in the tea aisle. She was stuck on a project, then saw these mint tea boxes with just a green circle and one leaf. She said the empty space around it made the leaf feel important. She went home and redid a whole painting using that "less stuff, more meaning" idea. Ever have a moment like that, where something simple just clicks?
