So, did you drive there? That's also an environmental impact. Just saying.
- CaliforniaKarl 8y agoNope, I took the bus there & back.
- finaliteration 8y agoWhen ordering from Amazon extra packaging is used AND fuel is used to ship it. Seems like driving and not using the extra box would have a lesser impact. Or at least in my car because the store is about 5 miles away by freeway and I drive a small, fuel-efficient vehicle.
- Someone1234 8y agoBecause Amazon don't drive the package..? Or fly it in a lot of cases? In fact Amazon has recently been moving away from USPS to "Amazon Logistics" which means even less package co-mingling/less environmental efficiency.
- soihrbfsodihbv 8y agoThey send many packages on the same vehicle, and do a shortest-path route. So the marginal impact of each package is minimal compared to making a dedicated trip to Best Buy.
- Spooky23 8y agoShow me the figures that demonstrate that buying something at retail is less damaging to the environment than Amazon’s distribution and fulfillment.
