I wish there was some sort of scoring system for product packaging that would take into account the quantity and environmental impact of the packaging. Like, if the product comes in a small cardboard box it gets a good score, but if that ca

What Google is doing is not illegal (immoral maybe). They have an obligation to their shareholder to maximise their profits through all legal means. If they were to turn around tomorrow and announce that they will no longer use the "Du
