Environmental Deficit Disorder is a term I made up for the practice of over packaging products, by companies who should know better.
My personal EDD story is the Canon Ink Package. This package contains only 3 cartridges. It would seem that I am not alone in thinking that this is a stupid idea. On a tip from the Dell Blog is this gem from the Register. 17 boxes to protect 32 A4 sheets
Can’t quite figure it out. Is this a printer company problem in that their profits on ink are so vast, that environmental concerns are out the window, or is it just stone cold stupid?
