When E-commerce is at its boom, there are many budding entrepreneurs who want to join the bandwagon. Another thing that lingers over the minds of young generation is sustainability. The question is, what is more eco-friendly and profitable at the same time- e-commerce or brick and mortar stores? People often argue that e-commerce is greener than the traditional stores. The online retailers such as Amazon claim that online shopping is more environment friendly than traditional retailing. But there have been a lot of surveys to find the truth that indicate reality is far from what Amazon claims. One cannot side line the fact that carbon footprint generated by shoppers depends on various factors such as IT infrastructure, packaging and emissions from vehicles. And the studies prove that e-commerce emits lesser greenhouse gases as compared to traditional shopping.
