Best packaging ever

When I turned on my "super-noticing powers" on a rare moment I had some free minutes at my job (not kidding!), I grabbed a water bottle nearby and started examining it real close. I noticed how the same plastic is hard at the top, and soft the center, and again hard in the bottom. And it's also made to support the weight of about eight more boxes when it's piled up, but has to be able to deform if one wants to throw it in the trash.
And of course all of the time trying to save some material = savings.

But then I stopped to think about how nature already gives us the best packaging ever. Take for example an orange or coconut. The product is born enclosed in it,
It's made to last for weeks and even months, and it's completely organic so it won't pollute, but will also return to the Earth from where it came from. And the biggest feature of them all is that this source is renewable, a tree will produce thousands and thousands of oranges in its lifetime!
Also, an orange will withstand being carried in a truck with other hundreds or thousands oranges, arriving fresh, and not only that, but it has all the vitamins securely in it.

Money grows in trees.

La letra de la página está muy chiquita. Los títulos de cada entrada deberían distinguirse mejor del resto del texto. Saludos totales. PD: Quién es Viktor Frankl? Es que el la hacía de Luke en Gilmore Girls?
