No, having a dedicated delivery vehicle that drops off hundreds of packages in one trip is waaaaaaay more environmentally friendly than you driving your personal vehicle to and from the store for just one item.

Waiting for a toilet seat to be delivered is really more efficient than getting one in the mean time while you’re already away from home in your car? Or out to dinner near the home store?

Only IF you drive and it’s the only thing you go shopping for and the only reason to drive.

If you really can’t plan your shopping trips efficiently then, maybe.

Walk. Bike. Stop on the way home from work.

I know it is hard to imagine other people with lives different than yours, but do try. It might help you understand why they might make choices different from yours.

what a shittake

people don't necessarily go to buy single stuff off the store, do you? With your argument, why not let Amazon send you rations of everything instead of anyone ever learning to cook, drive, learn a skill, fix stuff, or do anything for themselves.

is it going to to be more efficient to go to store with a list and find things you like/prefer than getting it hauled from wherever their stock is located, packaged with tons of plastic and then possibly having to return it back if you don’t like how it feels/looks/works/breaks down?
