NEW YORK — If you think shopping online is more eco-friendly than driving to a store, think again.
It may sound counterintuitive, but the more eco-conscious way to shop is going to a physical store rather than by making purchases online from companies that don’t have physical stores, according to a new report Tuesday in Environmental Science & Technology, a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the American Chemical Society.

Ordering from a local store can curb online shopping's CO₂ emissions | Science News
Ordering items for delivery from the local store may help customers minimize their carbon footprints.
Computer simulations of shopping trips and deliveries in the United Kingdom allowed researchers to estimate the carbon emissions associated with each item purchased through different means. On average, deliveries by a local shop resulted in less than half as much carbon dioxide being emitted per item as deliveries by online-only retailers, which deliver items through package distribution centers, researchers report online February 26 in Environmental Science & Technology .

10 Reusable Bags You Need to Face New York's Plastic Bag Ban
Until now, a plastic bag ban seemed like something that only a sunny, Über -progressive place like California could pull off. But not so. The dream of a plastic-bag-free existence in New York will come true when a statewide ban on such bags begins on March 1. That means fewer plastic bags in trees, on subway tracks, and around our ankles on windy days. It also means always having a reusable bag handy whether you're making a quick trip after work or buying groceries for the week.
How big is this bag? Big enough to fit a medium-size dog or a week and a half's worth of groceries, including multiple rolls of toilet paper and paper towels on top of the usual food stuff. Plus the extremely sturdy canvas means you'll never have to worry about unsightly holes.
