Packaging for retail
via Seth's Blog by Seth Godin on May 15, 2008
Item 1: My Logitech cordless remote (which I like a lot) came in plastic, non-recyclable packaging that weighed twice as much as the remote itself.* The plastic was so well sealed and so thick that I actually broke a kitchen knife trying to open it. (*this is not hyperbole. I weighed it). This is expensive, time-consuming and positions the product as extremely ungreen. This packaging is the...

Matthew Palevsky: Facing Racism in America
via The Full Feed from HuffingtonPost.com by Matthew Palevsky on May 15, 2008
While covering the primary in West Virginia I encountered pervasive racism only hinted at by Tuesday's exit polls and the pundits who wonder aloud if America is ready for a black President. What I heard on Tuesday was shocking, and it provides a dismal forecast as to Obama's chances of securing the white, blue-collar vote. The Real News Network (TRNN) is the world's first truly...
