[–] maynarkh@feddit.nl 12 points 2 years ago (3 children) If you buy from Amazon, it’s YOU who are responsoble for all associated emissions like delivery, manufacturing, etc, not Bezos. That would only be true if Amazon had real competition and would not be acting like a monopoly, as many other companies do. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] rchive@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) Amazon is very much not a monopoly. There are thousands of online retailers. There are also a lot of delivery services, no idea if there are thousands, but there's a lot. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Carighan@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children) Isn't it more planet reponsible then to order from Amazon where, if I order say 6 items, they'll come from the same warehouse in the same delivery (at least ove here!) instead of in 6 deliveries from 6 different vendors who also all had to get individual deliveries of their stock first? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] sockenklaus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago* (2 children) Lol your statement doesn't hold true for where I live. We live more or less in the vicinity of the nearest Amazon warehouse, like 50 km away... When we order several (like 6) items, they send 6 packages, each individually packed, with 6 delivery drivers over two days, ringing three times a day (noon, afternoon, late evening).
