As with many technological innovations, early boosters of e-commerce championed its environmental virtues. Digital shopping was portrayed as a healthier way to consume. Grouped deliveries would replace the individual trip to the shop, thereby reducing traffic and carbon emissions. Fewer brick-and-mortar stores, especially in suburban locations, would allow for more productive and sustainable uses of space, including by health care facilities and parks.
与众多技术创新一样,早期的电子商务推动者宣扬电商更加环保。网上购物曾被描述成一种更加健康的消费方式。分组送货将取代个人前往商店购物,从而减少交通流量和碳排放量。实体店的减少将使人们能够更加高效和更可持续地利用城市空间,包括增加医疗设施和公园,这在郊区尤为显著。
The industry has grown exponentially since those early days, however. Between 2009 and 2018, the number of parcels delivered by the US Postal Service doubled to 6.2 billion annually. The mountains of cardboard in apartment trash rooms are proof: In New York, roughly four in 10 residents receive at least one delivery per week.
然而,从早期开始这一行业就在快速发展。自2009年至2018年,美国邮政局投递的包裹数量翻了一番,达到每年62亿个。公寓垃圾处理室里堆积如山的纸板就是证明:在纽约,大约四成的居民每周至少收到一份快递。
