More than ever before, we are shopping online. But is this the most sustainable choice we can make? In today’s episode, I talk about a study that explored greenhouse gas emissions of three different modes of shopping; traditional brick and mortar, pure online, and click and brick, where you purchase online but from a local retailer. I go through some of the key factors that influence greenhouse emissions, including but not limited to the mode of transport, urban density, and basket size. As with all things sustainable, the best practices to incorporate into your life depend on your context. While there is not a single correct way to shop more sustainably, the tips I share today will certainly help you decrease your shopping’s carbon footprint.
