Your Prime Day shopping spree came with free, fast shipping — but experts say there’s a hidden environmental cost that doesn’t show up on the checkout page.
I get bothered by the transportation of stuff we buy from Amazon. Airplanes and trucks spewing greenhouse gases so we get that book or gadget or item of clothing. But then I get ok with that, because that truck means I don’t have to get in my car and go so many miles round trip and spew my own CO2, and the airplane was going to bring the item from Point A to my store anyway. What bugs me most are the boxes and the plastic big bubble things........more plastic, what we don’t need, and all that cardboard. I just wish I knew the cardboard resulted from recycling, or I wish I could believe it if Amazon said so, or that the new box would be recycled. But all the news these days about recycling is it ain’t working: most of it goes to landfills anyway.

That convenience is encouraging people in the US to buy more, and to make more individual purchases rather than placing a single order for several items. “There are more sales in lower-price products online than there have been in stores,” Marshal Cohen, chief industry advisor at the NPD Group, told BuzzFeed News. And all of those transactions are negatively impacting our planet, according to Miguel Jaller, assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of California, Davis: “People are consuming more. There’s more demand created by the availability of these cheap products and cheap delivery options.”
Experts say that e-commerce could actually, if optimized, be beneficial for the environment. Getting into your personal vehicle and going to the store isn’t very efficient, but consolidating multiple shoppers’ deliveries into one vehicle can be. Anne Goodchild, director of the University of Washington’s Supply Chain Transportation and Logistics Center, told BuzzFeed News, “Broadly speaking, delivery services have the potential to dramatically reduce miles traveled.”
