Cardboard Box Revolution
We live in a city, because of the industrial revolution
And the suburbs because of automotive highway revolution
Then online shopping came to us via an information revolution
And a pandemic moved Christmas from malls to online
Resulting in a cardboard revolution
I’ve seen a leather wrist watch strap shipped in a shoe size box
We get exercise benefits getting all the cardboard into recycling
Will this cardboard be used to ship something to us in two or three months?
Is this an endless cycle?
Have I handled these fibers more than once?
If not,
What do we do with all the extra cardboard for last mile shipping?
Who is making money in this cardboard revolution?
Oh, and I need a bigger recycling bin!
