Nice pick-up. This is a classic example of marketers creating a product aimed at people who think the answer to reducing our environmental impact is by buying more stuff. Hmmm. Have added to my bloglog.

In relation to this topic, I thought you might be interested in the below event hosted by Shell on November 19th:
“The concept of ‘sustainability’, the use of the term by corporate organisations, and issues around communication have all recently been the subject of debate. Bjorn Edlund”™s Webchat will discuss, amongst other things, what Shell means by ‘sustainability’, whether companies are trying to hijack the issues, and if advertising claims hold water. We are looking for a broad and informed debate and as such would welcome your participation.
To see the introductory video which explores the topic in more detail, to register to participate, and to see more of our work, please visit http://www.shell.com/dialogues.”

Positively wasteful and ridiculous. Great. Compacts bottles and cans. What’s going to compact these when they get chucked?
