I complain about Amazon's wasteful packaging all the time. Yet, I am buying everything I can on Amazon, because it's convenient, fast and price-effective. I find what I need in minutes, I select the best price and click Prime Buy (free shipping to my office; no need to even go to the post office after work, no risk of having a package stolen from my front door). Think of all the energy and time I am saving by not driving to the stores. All the junk food that I am not eating at mall food courts. All the crap that I am not buying because that "today's only sale" discount looks amazing.

Amazon packaging is annoying. But it will change, I am sure, to become more efficient. Again, we tend to make a problem out of normal temporary challenges that market solves efficiently by itself.
