I'm sure you can find a thousand articles/discussions online about the math behind how driving cars to stores is significantly more polluting than "salesman problem"ing a single delivery truck. Bonus: it's far easier to electrify or improve 1 delivery truck than it is the 100 cars it's displacing.
- onphonenow 4y agoJust from my side once we switched more to delivery we are driving a TON less. We used to go a few cities over for some thing, whole foods for example not in our city so we'd go over to it to grab some stuff, then to target for a few things etc etc. All that driving has evaporated - we are cooking at home more too.
