Receiving a huge package after ordering something online kind of turns you into an excited little kid opening gifts on Christmas, you think that you will find something really exciting inside, but the reality is always harsh and disappointing since you end up finding something like a USB stick but with an ungodly amount of packaging.
A lot of companies don't really care about the environment, they just want to sell their product and maximize profit, so they use a ridiculous amount of packaging in order to ensure that the product will stay intact and not get damaged while getting transported.
