Somewhat tangential, but can't help sharing: It's counter-intuitive, but you should feel good ordering things with same-day delivery, even if you don't need it and it "feels" wasteful. Energy-intensity of delivery basically boils down to "did it go on an airplane?". If so, it has a ton of emissions associated with it. If not, it doesn't. And (of course) the less distance the item has to travel, the less emissions. If it can be delivered same-day, then it's not going on an airplane, and it's not traveling very far.


Totally get what you're saying, but the big motivator for us is to literally deal with less boxes that need to be broken down.
