What sort of non sustainable society are we getting to ...

Apple are very ready to sue at a moment's notice.
They even tried it with Woolworths Australia, who had a logo supposedly symbolising "fresh fruit & vegetables", in the form of a stylised "W" in the form of an apple, with the parts of the letter looking like a peeled apple skin.
Of course "they were dreaming" -----taking on a major Australian company in Australia.
They went away "with their tail between their legs!"
Interestingly the "Apple" symbol turned sideways, looks like a three quarter rear image of Olaf the snowman from "Frozen"------maybe they should take on Disney, too?
I never worked out why Apple weren't sued by "Apple" records, whose logo predates the computer company.

Industrial scale manufacturing has always been bad news for the environment, because all products are put there at the end of their useful life. In more or less damaging ways. My mind boggles just at the volume of cleaning chemicals that go down the drain and straight to local water courses or the sea. Every supermarket on the planet has shelves full of chemicals labelled damaging to aquatic life, and that's exactly where it ends up!
Anyway, I digress.
Amazon is simply another player, helping us along our fast track to environmental destruction.
On the plus side, at least some folks are getting rich along the way :-\
