Dear Amazon,

I LOVE Amazon and LOVE getting packages. I feel like a kid on Christmas when a package arrives, even if it's just a box of coconut oil. Yes, I'm a stay-at-home mom nerd. On to my point: Our house is overloaded with beautiful shipping boxes that I feel guilty throwing out. I keep thinking that maybe I'll use said boxes, but the likely hood of me using 50 shipping boxes in the next year is not rooted in reality. It's rooted in my heightened awareness of how much garbage we create as a society and knowing that our garbage never really goes away. It just ends up filling our earth and creating space issues for future generations.
So I started wondering if Amazon has a box reuse program. I called customer service today and they do not. However the kind woman on the phone thought it was a great idea and encouraged me to provide my feedback. See below and consider sharing your voice if you too would like your extra Amazon boxes to live another life.

Dear Amazon,
I am a regular customer and am wondering if Amazon has thought of – or can start – a box reuse program. I get a large number of packages from your company, the boxes are really nice, and I would love if there was a way to send the boxes back to you so that they can be reused. Please consider this idea as a way to lighten Amazon's and your customers' footprint on our Earth. It may even save Amazon some expense!
Respectfully,
Christina Klinepeter
