Dear Consumer Affairs,

	I would like to express my appreciation for efforts taken by Poland Springs to reduce the total amount of packaging in water bottles. The Eco-shape® bottle is a great example of point source reduction, and reducing cardboard packaging by 75% will save a lot of energy and pollution. Waste prevention is the best way to keep waste from entering into the stream, reducing energy consumption from production to disposal. If other companies were to implement ideas such as these it would greatly reduce the amount of disposable packaging put into the waste stream every day. It would be great to hear more about the story of changing over to environmentally friendly packaging and the economic benefits associated with green practices. I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

< Your Name >
