Yesterday Amazon.com sent me an email that I might be interested in a reissue of Norah Jones’ album Come Away With Me: Green Box (Eco).  Now I don’t know what they mean by a green box.  Maybe it’s just the color green.  Maybe it’s recycled.  But clearly they are trying to cache in on the environmentally conscious lovers of Ms Jones’ light jazz stylings. Whatever makes this box green, what I want to know is:

How does buying an album that you already have save the environment?

I mean Come Away With Me sold approximately 22.5 million albums, so if you like the album you probably have it.    Buying a second copy of an album you already have means that there is more plastic, more chemicals and  more trees turned into CD case inserts rather than turning carbon dioxide into oxygen.  The truth is, the green version of the album, the  ecologically conscious one costs about half the price, just $7.99, and is the digital version.  Please don’t get suckered and don’t reinforce this commercialism riding on the coat tails of environmentalism while actually hurting the environment.
