Easter Eggs all wrapped up…..

Ok, I know they are fragile, but do we really need so much packaging on our Easter eggs? The Easter Bunnies arrive safely, despite having only a minimal amount of wrapping. Do chocolate manufacturers not CARE about the Great Waste Debate?
There has been almost no change in the amount of packaging on Easter eggs despite manufactuers’ pledge to reduce the amount of card, plastic and foil they use. Some eggs on offer are so over-packaged that the chocolate makes up less than 10 per cent of the volume of the wrapping.
