Of course what's even more efficient is shipping to a network of distribution centers which are in walking distance for most people, reachable by mass transit by others and reachable during trips that would have happened anyway for the rest.
- culturestate 14y agoDo you mean that we would pick up from a large warehouse, or that the warehouse would ship orders to central distribution points?
- EvilTerran 14y agoI think morsch means supermarkets, farmers' markets, high streets, and shopping malls.
- sneak 14y agoYou assume that waking productive human time (spent walking to/from the distribution center, or waiting for mass transit connections) is worth absolutely nothing. It's the scarcest resource of all of this.
- morsch 14y agoI didn't assume that, I simply didn't discuss it. I was replying to the grandparent which refers to environmental issues.
