Hi CS,
Yes, you should still bother. Every little bit helps. You could also send an email to Amazon asking them what their future plans are to replace plastic in shipping with other materials such as compostable plastic (made from veggies or something) or cardboard.
A couple of months ago, some grocery story dropped 100% of the plastic they use. Not just in plastic bags, but in plastic wrap too. I brought it up to a store manager near me about 2 weeks ago and he said that a lot of people are complaining now, so who knows? Maybe if enough people care, things can change.
One problem I have is that I keep forgetting to bring bags to the grocery store for re use. Must stop.
