… Wouldn’t online shopping be vastly better for the environment? Getting cheap Chinese junk into a market probably has the same climate impact no matter how it was bought, but a single delivery driver going to a few dozen houses is better than a few dozen cars on the road. Although i guess that’s from my experience in a demon country that makes it impossible to go places on foot.
The people going to a store usually aren’t only buying one thing and people probably wouldn’t buy as much garbage if it weren’t easy to buy from the Internet so I’m not sure this is an apples to apples comparison. Also not everyone going to a store are driving.
