Agreed. All they learned was that stackable packaging was more efficient and less wasteful, so it was the shape of the packaging that failed and not it's "greeness." Still, those are some ugly ass shoes. Anyone else get the impulse to yell "SUUUUUUURGE" just by looking at them?
So what. The green movement is about feeling like you are doing something and appearing like you care to others, it has little to do with actually carrying that message out.
Let the free market conserve. Because the more scarce something gets, the more valuable it is, therefore making the demand lower and utilization more efficient.
Doesn't the production of a Hummer also create emissions from harvesting the resources and the factories to build it? "you can buy an H2, keep it fueled up for life, and never burn through as many resources as it took to make your hybrid suv"Show your work or shut up.
This is wierd. I've had six pair of Newton Running shoes. I pre-ordered my first pair before the company ever sold them. They always came in regular shoeboxes - no colors or anything.
