(Relative) environmentalism FTW

Michele picked up a tape gun for me at Staples, store-branded, in furtherance of packing efficiently.  I took it out of my backpack and grumbled:  like just about every other consumer product, it's in one of those thick plastic packages, which I hate because (a) you can't get them open without a pair of kitchen shears and (b) they aren't recyclable.  I grabbed the shears, planned my line of attack to breach the package defenses, and realized that you can actually just yank it open by starting at one corner and pulling the front and back apart.  In so doing, I saw the Code 1 recyclable triangle.

While I still maintain that the whole plastic shell is unnecessary, it's at least a start.
