I think this is an interesting point. Has Amazon grown industrial production and shipping and therefore increased net CO2?
Possible counterclaims:
- more informed purchasing leads to fewer discarded items
- centralized shipping is more efficient than driving your car to the store
It does seem like in the limit Amazon could have a profoundly positive effect on the net carbon of our products. It doesn’t seem like they are optimizing for that right now. Although and optimal strategy there would probably be growth first and then carbon efficiency when the growth levels off.
