    Almost everything is linked to air pollution. If I didn’t online shop, I’d be driving to the store instead of Amazon driving to my door.

      Yup, and loads of people driving to the store will pollute more then one truck delivering to those same people.

      If only cities were walkable and had good public transport, then deliveries would be worst.

        Take a look at Northern Chertanovo in Moscow. We had a chance, but we missed it

    If you can, choose shipping to the nearest package locker.

    Many items aren’t available offline tho.
