If you've ever heard Gary Hirshberg , CEO of Stonyfield Farms, speak (or read his book, Stirring it Up) you can see how complicated this is even for a company that is honestly trying to be green. It's amazing to listen to him talk about criticism of his yogurt containers, which are not recyclable in most places, but save millions of gallons of fuel per year because of their lighter weight.

To get to a true cost comparison of ebooks v pbooks would probably take an astonishing amount of thought, research and time.
