I don’t know man, I would stop posting that pic if you’re going to summarize it that way because it kind of makes you look dumb.
That “feel good about yourself” tab actually signifies that the product was made with 100% recycled polyester, which adidas is moving all of their products to. That pile of packaging (you’ll see a 100% in there) is made of 100% recycled material. Transporation packaging in general is something Adidas has noted as unavoidable to completely move away from, so they donate millions of dollars (the equivalent of the environmental impact of their packaging) to organizations creating more sustainable solutions. They also make products from ocean waste.
I kind of hate the whole “Oh, you care about the environment? So you never use plastic EVER?” type of argument. It’s really ignorant.
