If more people could see that there is no "away" when something is thrown out, down the drain, imagine the impact. Kind of like MPG readouts on cars resulting in better driving. @Affan, you're right on target, social media has given us a way to connect that wasn't previously possible. You and I knowing each other is a prime example. 10, even 5 years ago, who would have thought I'd connect with an environmentally minded writer (you) in Pakistan? @GET, that’s what I thought too.

The strength (reach) of that power depends on the blog of course. But still, it has become easy to reach your target audience. And an effective social media campaign involving bloggers is a pretty good marketing strategy, which can be realized only by those who have done it well.

Just thinking about having to do that may even be nearly enough to bring about some behavioral changes. I also really like the idea of the concentrated products reducing packaging and shipping costs. Hadn't really seen things in that light before. Thanks!
