The packaging industry causes much environmental harm, from the consumption of trees and oil to the creation of trash, and should be eliminated.  This is a good start, just like taking canvass shopping bags to the store instead of consuming paper or plastic ones.

...In Texas, anyways.

Startin' next year, ALL computer manufactuers, be they big corps. or mom-and-pop, must offer free recycling of old computers to their customers.

I love the idea.  Not only does it save resources in packaging, but also fuel for shipping.  There is nothing more wasteful than excessive packaging.  I notice it especially at the grocery store.  That's why I like to buy bulk.  There are some great co-ops where you can pretty much buy bulk everything from peanut butter to pasta.  Bring your own reusable container and then there is no packaging at all.
