Buying in-store or via delivery service (as opposed to Amazon) is almost guaranteed to increase the amount of plastic packaging. Many stores have those stupid anti-consumer clamshell packages (mostly to reduce shoplifting, but at high environmental cost).

Let's not forget all the packaging in shipping the item to the destination as well (that you don't see because it's discarded in the shipping room floor).

It's gotten to the point where I simply don't buy unless I absolutely need it anymore.

I mean, that is the most environmentally friendly solution.
