How Is Online Shopping Affecting The Environment?

• Shopping also affects your environmental growth.
  It is somewhat uncanny to sound but it is true.
  When you travel miles in search of your favourite
  dress or shoes you might have ignored the amount
  of emissions from your car. Of course they affect
  the environment. People are mostly lured by the
  online sites like flipkart because of the
  flipkart coupons they provide on different
  products hence offering good discount. They are
  not bothered about the other aspects related to
  it like our environment.

• Online shopping has affected positively but not
  in every case. People still have to learn the
  ways of environment friendly online shopping.
  While shopping online you can buy things at your
  place hence saving fuel and the environment. But
  this process in helping the environment only if
  we do not return the order. For example we
  ordered three pair of shoes kept one and then
  returned the other two then your approach is not
  environment friendly as you have increased
  threefold of the hazardous emissions.

• The motive of the online shopping was basically
  because of environmental friendly tactics but
  this practice of returning orders has finished
  its real impact. When online shopping is compared
  with local shopping the amount of emissions are
  compared. Emissions are considered as the
  deciding factor because posting parcels also
  results in CO2 emissions. It is found out that a
  reduction in greenhouse gases is only achieved if
  an online order is replaced by three and a half
  actual shopping trips by car. Other situations
  which can decrease these online emissions is when
  at least 25 products are delivered one after the
  other or if the online purchase saves the
  customer a journey of 50 kilometres.

• If you are concerned about the environment then
  you should know some of the ways in which you can
  shop in the best possible way online.
•  
• Find out if you yourself could be able to get the
  product from a local shop where you could reach
  on foot or by bicycle.
• Organise your ways and try to buy from as few
  traders as possible, and consolidate your orders.
• Just to bargain or get cheaper goods do not
  spread your purchases to several traders.
• Buy goods with high return rates from shops only.
  For example goods like shoes.
• If you have ordered something and you are not at
  the place when it is delivered then ask some of
  your friends to receive it rather than asking
  them to go back.
• Give preference to those delivery services that
  use recyclable cardboard while delivering.
• Organize buying groups to place collective
  orders.
• Among the two options choose standard delivery
  rather than express delivery. In standard
  delivery parcels can be transported in optimally
  loaded lorries.

• Hence now you know that while shopping also we
  need to take care of our environment. Online
  shopping is not just about discount coupons like
  shopclues coupons but they are more than that. As
  online shopping has reshaped this aspect hence we
  should also take a step to do environment
  friendly shopping.
