It is hard to imagine that there was not someone inside of Nike that lost their faith in humanity when the pitch for these things was originally taking off.

Are kids still even taught the three Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle)? I was always taught that they were listed in order of importance, but that seems to conflict with modern capitalism.

Honestly, no idea. But yeah, the latter two seem in direct opposition to the line always going up at all costs.

Apart from their use in the slogan, I don't remember any importance being placed on reduce or reuse when I was at school. I guess "recycle" is the only one compatible with continually buying more shit we don't need.
