Think about it: order something, get it tomorrow, zero friction. We've normalized instant gratification in shopping. But here's the catch—that speed has a real environmental price. Every quick delivery means more emissions, more packaging waste, more pressure on logistics networks. The convenience we've come to expect? It quietly carries a climate cost most of us don't see. Worth thinking about what we're actually trading for.

Well, I've actually gotten used to it long ago; it feels slow if I don't receive goods for a day... But now that you mention it, I haven't really thought about the carbon emissions behind all this.

Hi... to put it simply, we have developed this habit where the excitement of receiving tomorrow's delivery is more important than anything else. But what about those cardboard boxes and exhaust fumes? They are completely invisible.

I really never thought about it, the cost of buying things quickly is so high... With so many packages delivered every day, it is indeed causing a lot of pollution.
