Green Game Packaging - Paper or Plastic? [Aug 30, 2008, 12:09 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Wal-Mart promotes green gaming has word that the retail giant has met with
representatives of Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo to discuss making console
gaming more environmentally friendly. Topics included giving system lower power
standby modes, and the possibility of reversing the recent evolution to plastic
game packaging by returning to paper and cardboard packaging, with Wal-Mart
saying that would reduce the industry's carbon footprint by the equivalent of
taking 4000 cars off the road.
cut down trees to save some plastic?
I'm about 90% sure that forests used for logging in the US have grown in the past decades. The 10% is me unable to find a good source showing this.
A logging company cannot log if they do not have trees, thus it is in their business interest to plant more.
Of course, there's still the rainforests which are being devastated, but the rate of logging would not change that much.
