What's better:
One lorry brings a load of clothes to a shop(not in usa where everyone one drives, somewhere in europe, in a city) and customers on lunch breaks, after work, using public transport and lets say 10% drive to the city to visit the store.
Vs
No store. customers order online =no customer polluting journeys to stores (but as mentioned above, in our case that is quite few anyway). Lorry brings clothes to warehouse. A few vans take orders from warehouse to customer houses, delivering packages. And then lets say 60% of those need to be returned, so same journey again of van to warehouse.
Just thinking all that through... Isn't online shopping more pollution expensive than us popping into a store during our lunch breaks?
