as long as the box isn't delivered in a limo, that's in a plane that's delivered by fedex, who gives a rats ass?!
you know how much of a friggin' pain it is for shipping small containers from a logistics perspective?!

Because that's where this, like all other items ordered from Apple's website, comes from.

It Came From Shanghai, China starring Steve Jobs and Jonathan Ive.

Regardless, the last time a post like this was made, Apple quickly fixed it. Let's hope the same happens.

On a similar not, I got 4 Blu-rays from Amazon today all in almost exact size padded envelopes instead of the smaller boxes i was used to...it was a nice eco-friendly change!

It sucks but can actually save the shipper (and you) a decent amount of money on shipping at the expense of resources.

What irks me more is getting retail hang-packaging for stuff I order online. Blister-packs are the worst.

"Sustainable Markets"
"Environmental Buisness" = Essentially equivalent to "busness sustainability", but the dept had a thing about using the 'enviro-something something' names to hype the dept...
or,
"Environmental Citizenship" = Covered a whole unit on identifying truly sustainable and responsibly marketed products.
The only business I can ever recall discussing as an end-to-end case study was Patagonia. And those hippies be craaaazy... But they can make some damn warm fleece out of recycled PET1 bottles!
