Really !!!

Tell me... Whaaaat de hell makes it an "eco-friendly" camera... The cardboard ??? Cardboard is made from paper... You have to kill a tree to make paper !!!

So that means that my Canon is anti-"echo-friendly" ???
Exactly what is it doing that is so not "echo-friendly"?

This "echo-friendly" crap is going just a little too far..

It comes with a "no smoking" sign for camera protection.

Cutting trees is great for the environment. Regeneration is important for thousands of wildlife species. There has to be a balance of ages in the forest.

I wonder how much (if any)eco-unfriendliness a cardboard camera will offset Ikea's use of Russian wood, where they have no controls of over cutting, pollution or replanting and shipping said lumber to China for prep where they use slave labor, children and have a phenomenal pollution problem, all in pursuit of the almighty kroner? Try to find anything in that Swedish super-store that's not made in China.
