The climate stakes of speedy delivery

There used to be an option to either have items ship when they are ready, or in one shipment. I can understand that if items are in different warehouses, they might need separate shipping. But these days, I order three items in one order, and get all three the same day, from different trucks.<p>This is silly when I don&#x27;t care about speed. If I cared that much about getting items ASAP, I&#x27;d find it locally. The fact that I am ordering online means that I can wait. I&#x27;d prefer efficient delivery to ASAP delivery.

No mention of the amount of CO2 _saved_ because of less trips to the store!<p>One delivery truck driving to everyone&#x27;s home in a neighborhood is significantly less CO2 then everyone in the neighborhood driving to the mall!

I&#x27;m not one for future fetishism, but drone delivery has <i>huge</i> potential to impact our daily lives.
