Shop online and help the environment.
I am glad that I am one of the many people who love to shop online. Not only because it is time saving and convenient, you help the environment a little too.
Using data supplied by Buy.com, Internet Superstore, and also according to their previous studies, the Carnegie Mellon University’s Green Design Institute had come up with an interesting finding about how buying through buy.com can reduce carbon dioxide emission. To summarize the Green Study finding, when people buy things at the conventional retail store, many would drive to the store. Thus resulting in more carbon dioxide emission.
Whereas, buying things through buy.com takes 35 percent less energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. This is due to the rather systematic and streamlined route to buyers’ homes using a energy efficient delivery truck.
