Like anyone else, there are days I feel beautiful and days I don't, and when I don't, I do something about it.

Plastic makes our life easy on our every day jobs. Could you imagine our life without cars, medical services, computers, telephone, cell phones, etc..? Packaging might sometimes represent a challenge to open the container. If so using the scissors is always the best solution that I have seen. But thanks to plastic we can extend shelf life of a product for food and prevent theft.

Put down those pruning shears, box cutters and razors; take off the gloves; close up the first aid kit and let the children back in the room.
Global packaging solutions provider MWV (MeadWestvaco) has developed a consumer-friendly, sustainable alternative to the hard-to-open, injury-inducing clamshell packages. It's called Natralock®, and it's a recyclable paperboard-based packaging solution that uses up to 60 percent less plastic than those clamshells. If your electronics, toys, personal care and hardware tools are packaged in Natralock you can avoid "wrap rage" and help the environment.
For more information, please visit www.NATRALOCK.com.

Have the store's Customer Service department open the package before you leave the store.

Supermarkets sell shears supposedly designed to cut these packages. For the same money, about $10, you can go to the hardware store and buy tin snips. They are spring-loaded with a safety catch. They are much more durable and versatile.
