Amazon’s Plastic Waste Soared in 2021, Report Finds
If all the company’s plastic from 2021 were converted into plastic air pillows — the inflated pouches inserted in some Amazon packages to reduce shifting during transit — and laid side by side, Miller said it would circle the globe more than 800 times. As the largest retailer on the planet, Amazon goes through a lot of plastic. It ships 7.7 billion packages around the world each year, often using plastic air pillows, bags, and protective sleeves to cushion products during transit. Environmental advocates say these are some of the worst kinds of plastics: They can’t be recycled, and their light weight makes them prone to drifting into the oceans, where they kill more large marine mammals than any other kind of ocean debris. As the plastics break down, they not only leach harmful chemicals but can also bind with new ones in the environment, posing toxicity risks to the mussels, oysters, whales, and other animals that unintentionally ingest them.

Five energy saving tips that help cut bills revealed – and the myths that are a waste of time
FIVE energy saving tips that help to cut the cost of bills have been revealed.
With Brits battling the first blast of freezing conditions, heating bills are no doubt rising across the nation.
The five ways you can try and save money this winter have been revealed[/caption]
But as temperatures plummet to -15C in some parts, the cost of living has meant households are layering up instead of turning on the radiators.
According to a survey by YouGov last week, 15 per cent of people cannot afford to heat their properties.
The best ways to save money while keeping the warmth inside your home have since been shared.
Reduce flow rate on your boiler
Boilers have a flow temperature – which if you tweak could save up to £100.
According to This is Money, lowering the rate from 80C to 60C saves nine per cent of total gas use.
Or £112 for the average home.
Draught-proofing
You can draught-proof your home and save money on heating.
Sealing up any gaps in your property will prevent heat from escaping.
Foam strips are easily fitted to windows, doors and floorboards.
The small change could save you £30 a year on your energy bills.
Thermostatic radiator valves
The dials on the side of your radiator determine the amount of heat let out.
Making sure they’re set to only a level you need them at to heat the room could save money.
Some energy firms suggest using the dials could cut energy use by up to 40 per cent.
Use appliances when they’re full
You should only use household appliances when they’re full.
Washing machines, tumble dryers and dishwashers consume most of the energy in the home.
To make sure you’re using them as efficiently as possible, you should only use them once they are filled.
It’s also recommended to wash your clothes on 30C heat only.
Insulating your property
What might be more of a higher cost to begin with could massively benefit you in the long run.
Installing insulation can really help save money as the harsh weather sets in.
However it’s worth checking with an expert first how much you would save before forking out.
There are a number of heat-saving myths that Brits are being warned to avoid when trying to save.
One is putting foil behind radiators to save energy – which should be avoided because it oxidises over time, making it almost useless at saving heat.
This technique should only be done if professional radiator reflective foil is used, which costs around £8 for a four-metre roll at hardware stores such as B&Q.
Another myth is painting radiators black to help save money. It makes the appliances about one per cent more effective than a white one.
It comes after a home interior expert shared top tips on how to keep warm in bed on chilly nights without having to put the heating on.
