In honour of Earth Day

A day late,  I sent this e-mail to Gagou Tagou:

I wanted to let you know how much I love your baby socks (the ones with the plastic feet in them). They are the only socks that say on my baby’s feet, and many of my friends have agreed. I have several pairs and wash them every day since they are the only socks we use.
 
However, I refuse to buy anymore of the socks due to my extreme dislike for the packaging. The little feet are completely unnecessary, and take up extra room in my shopping bag (how many shopping bags do you think I really want to juggle, along with my baby, my older child, my diaper bag and my handbag???), and my garbage bin. I prefer to buy things that do not create unnecessary waste.
 
They also make unwrapping the socks take more time, and what mom to a baby has more time to spend on such an activity as getting socks out of their package? 
 
I hope you will reconsider the packaging and start to just put them on the cardboard cards and skip the space taking, waste and work increasing plastic feet.
 
I challenge you to do the same, and take a stand against an environmentally unfriendly product you have often thought about and never done anything to rectify! Tell me about it here!
