Consumer Reports has some tips to reduce your footprint while ordering this holiday season.
FedEx, Amazon and UPS have plans to roll out electric delivery vehicles, but that will take years. In the meantime, there are some things you can do now to lower the impact of your family’s online holiday shopping.
First, take a look at how and when you press “buy,” and plan to avoid those one-item orders. It’s best to consolidate your deliveries to just one order and pick the slowest shipping option available. This allows companies to keep fewer vans on the road. Or instead of choosing delivery, pick up your packages from a nearby location like a UPS store or an Amazon locker. That cuts down on individual deliveries those big vans need to make.
And remember that shopping locally this holiday season is a great way to help nearby businesses and the environment, especially if you leave the car at home. Walking, biking, or taking public transportation to stores will help minimize the environmental impact of your purchases. There’s another benefit to cutting down on all those online orders: You’ll also reduce the number of shipping boxes and bags arriving at your front door that you’ll need to recycle!
