I (sadly) don’t think much of this is isolated to Amazon. I think it’s shareholders that demand this of most corporations.

I honestly think the packaging my Amazon stuff comes in is much more eco friendly than the actual product packaging itself.




The packaging is a very small part of it. I’m talking about the logistics, destroying/incinerating returns, shipping whatever commingled crap and then having insane return rates (which are then destroyed)… not to mention the societal issues like systemically crushing workers rights, hiding accidents to cheat on workplace safety, etc. It’s so bad that Amazon was in the news a few months ago for churning through too many people and running out of suckers willing to be abused by them who haven’t been already and quit.
