On The Revolution, Annie showed Ty a package of household cleanser that was super concentrated. Super concentrated means less packaging.

Instead of propping up the dinosaur economy highlighted in The Story of Broke, we can be investing in more jobs and a healthier future by keeping the stuff we use in our economy, instead of dumping or burning it….
