More than a month, I am thinking "how much harmful our online shopping is to environment?"
Sharing some thoughts which gave the concern and got more concern when read more stuff online on same issues.
1. Layers of Packaging - Amount of Plastics, wrappers and cartoon boxes been used for small thing to a big boxes.
some alarming facts here:

2. Number of Transport to & fro - single parcel, travels from warehouses to warehouses, courier/fright delivery center, nodal center and to customer place.
3. Addition to above - if product gets return (whose percentile ranges from 5 - 50% depending upon the product).
I am trying and consider to purchase off-line more now. As game of Passing the Parcel, seems more costlier. What do you think?
