I just opened a box of sainsbury's own brand tissues and found a glossy bit of junk mail telling me how good sainsbury;s are for the enviroment and what they will do to save the planet. so my question is how many trees does it take to make this bit of junk and why cant I blow my nose on it without making a mess. great idea duuuuu

Like every other corporation cashing in on the Going Green bandwagon, they have to advertise it or no one will know it, then what good would it do them! Of course they chose the worst way to do it... on the box would have been best. Happy blowing to you! :-P

They could have printed the message on the tissues instead or on the box itself.
Like all the major supermarkets, Sainsbury's have 'gone green'. Maybe I'm being sceptical but I sometimes wonder how much is due to concern for the environment and how much is down to simple economics, e.g. Tesco have done it so we must as well.
I bought an external hard drive the other day and that was going on about how environmentally conscious the company were - it arrived packed in so much polystyrene and cardboard that I thought they were delivering a fridge. It was like pass-the-parcel and somewhere underneath all the packaging was a device about the size of a book.

Obviously you appear to be from Britain... If so ONLY buy products with the Green Star on them. They have passed a rigid set of Enviromental audits and tests to certify that the company is TRULY an environmentally responsible one.
