Excessive Packaging Reaches New Heights PDF Print E-mail
Just when you thought PR geniuses couldn't get less green, they come reach to new heights in the world of excess packaging...

Thanks to our friends at Groovy Green blog for bringing to our attention a story from this weeks SF Gate about excessive packaging.

The marketing geniuses at Johnson & Johnson introduce a mini-tote complete with every tube of Neosporin that leads the author to question why oh why...

My favorite quote:

" When the rubble-sorting Martians eventually piece together our civilization's collapse, it will be said that 1) we knew the wheels were coming off the cart and 2) we felt it all too complicated to stop. Nuclear power -- good idea or bad? Recycling, a waste of energy? Ethanol overrated? The Martians will nod sympathetically but then one will hold aloft one of 3 million promotional plastic Neosporin travel totes and ask, well, why didn't they at least stop making crap like this?"
