do not buy from Amazon due to their huge carbon footprint produced by individual box delivery
- tengbretson 7y agoThe carbon footprint of individual box delivery is unquantifiable compared to their competitors since we have no way of knowing how much more efficient this allows them to be with regard to logistics – reducing miles driven, warehousing, personnel, etc. all of which contribute to the overall carbon footprint of the operation.
- aurizon 7y agoTrue, it is hard to asses, and as amazon rolls out e-trucks, that foorprint will decline unless the internal combustion and the oil lobby bribe politicians to charge e-vehiles road taxes
- BubRoss 7y agoDo you have a source for how much carbon amazon produces vs other internet sites vs people driving to stores?
- aurizon 7y agoNo, but as electric cars and trucks proliferate it will surely decline on both fronts.
- lightgreen 7y agoYou never know if another Amazon competitor has a larger or smaller carbon footprint. The only way to decide who does smaller footprint is to ask your government to introduce/increase carbon tax, and then simply buy what's cheaper.
- aurizon 7y agotrue enough, the economics are foggy
