[RP TownTalk] Online shopping is green!

[Dwight Holmes]

It turns out you don't need to feel TOO bad if somehow you missed the
Holiday Market last weekend (or simply didn't find everything you
wanted there)!  While we used to feel guilty for doing shopping online
-- as if it somehow reflected what, a lack of sincerity on our part??
-- now we know that online shopping saves energy -- and not just
yours!

"Despite their size, e-commerce warehouses use 1/16th of the energy
used to operate retail stores. And even overnight air shipping uses
40% less fuel than the average car trip to the store."
