I'm sharing this because any reduction in unnecessary packaging waste is good for the planet - and because I think laser-etching avocados is funny. 🙂

Isn't that using way more energy..?

It likely only takes a few kilojoules to etch each avocado which is essentially nothing (for comparison, an avocado has around a megajoule of energy).

Not sure where the energy of the avocado becomes relevant here. It won't be used to produce electricity.

It's not really relevant, just a comparison to show how little energy that few kilojoules is.
