Packing Slip

One thing I didn't pack...

THE STREET OF SHAME

Malcolm McLean was a 24 year old truck driver.

leave the lower left corner screw in place but loose on top of the enclosure, detach the shipping bracket and remove the packing material

And we had a crate built for it.

But this story's not about eliminating it, it's about minimizing it.

And also a sample of your shipping plastic.

This packaging material provides heat insulation.

Remove all the screws connecting the bracket to the panel and then remove the bracket from the machine

It was called break bulk shipping.

The final step is, of course, the product, whether it's a packaging material, a table top, or building block.

Fossil fuels are needed for farming equipment, transportation, refrigeration, packaging in plastic, and cooking.

Ideas that didn't come out while you stare at the data will start to come out.

I ate some peanuts.

Peanut butter sandwiches again.

Would anyone like a peanut?

Suppose the rules are every time you offer somebody a drink, you give them the drink, and you give them your Styrofoam peanuts too.

So far, they've packed up about 4,500 feet of ice cores for shipment back to the United States.

Well sometimes you have to stand packed to appropriate a work of art.

They accumulate into the top of it.

I fit into it, you fit into it, and a hundred years tops, my body can return to the Earth with no preprocessing.

From now on, you can stop shelling peanuts and start shelling the wrappers off these chocolate bars instead.

Yet, after just a few weeks of use, you'll throw this material in the trash.

A major Fortune 500 furniture maker uses these corner blocks to protect their tables in shipment.

Yeah, I remember one time he gave me half of his peanut butter sandwich.

You smell like peanuts.

I love peanuts. Oh, thank you.

What comes from technical insights are making things more efficient or smaller or faster and sometimes lower cost and simpler.

We planted peanuts instead of cotton.

No, but we have peanuts

We recognize this is a finite resource, and it's simply crazy to do this, to put a liter and a half of petrol in the trash every time you get a package.

And while, today, we can practically guarantee that yesterday's packaging is going to be here in 10,000 years, what I want to guarantee is that in 10,000 years, our descendants, our children's children, will be living happily and in harmony with a healthy Earth.

Uh, who told you you could eat those peanuts?

Nishimura, knows how to use peanuts

Not to this, ayaya!

It could be a bag of peanuts just so long as it caused you pain and suffering. Oh, no, no, no.

Bandages.

Peanuts are fine also who?

Well, not so awful.

Bandage.
