Online Working and Shopping Increases Carbon Emissions - Softpedia

People who love our planet must not despair, there are ways of ordering online and reducing CO2 emissions if some simple rules are followed.

First of all, online shopping must replace 3.5 traditional shopping trips; also you can order and have delivered 25 items at the same time, and last but not least, the distance traveled to where the purchase is made must be over 50km.

If these criteria are respected, then shopping online is good for the planet.

As for working from home, the study actually shows that this increases home energy use by 30 percent and it can lead people to move further away from the workplace, thus increasing vehicle pollution.
