Black Friday’s Carbon Cost
Nothing to see here, keep buying! 👀
Last year’s estimated carbon cost from Black Friday equated to 429,000 tonnes of CO2 admitted into the atmosphere from product deliveries alone.
– The same as over 4 billion miles driven by an average gasoline-powered car.
And then returned items bought during the sales used over 1.2 billion gallons of diesel and emitted 12 million metric tonnes of CO2 in the US alone. 🤦
