What are some industries & practices you would like to see die out or can't believe they are still going?
I'll post the ones I can think of right now and might add to it:
Tat shops. Often located in holiday destinations these shops sell tacky items related to the area, rarely tasteful and I am doubtful they actually remind the purchaser of the good times they had there. I would never get someone a gift from such a place nor would I like to receive one.
Card shops. Most of the cards they sell are horrible with tacky designs poems or messages inside I don't know how these keep going. There is nothing personalised about them and they are so overpriced as well. I'm not against card sending as a practice especially if they are personalised for the recipient but I just don't get how these big card shops like Clinton's are still around on the high street selling their generic cards. Should have booths in the store where you can customise and print your own cards in my opinion.
Plastic bottles and food packaging. I am not surprised this is still going but would like to see it die out. Plastic pollution and litter is horrible in appearance and horrible for the environment. We are filled with microplastics already from all the partially degraded stuff in our water supplies which can cause hormonal disruption in humans and animals so I would much rather this practice ended sooner rather than later.
