Enviornmental impact of the new system

A while ago it was announced to is that the reasoning behind only receiving one control system that is to be reused was to reduce the environmental impact (as said on Bill's Blog).

Looking at the new system, I can understand why it was packaged in a large box, that was necessary. I can understand why the joysticks have lots of packaging, FIRST doesn't control logitech.

But why does the Jaguar need to come in a gigantic box? The one item we are most likely to be ordering repeats of year to year, and it has the most superfluous packaging. If the environmental impact was important FIRST, why didn't they ask Luminary Micro to use less, or no, packaging.

I'm confused here, as something really contradicts.
