Every day especially on weekends you might have noticed how crowded are the roads, emitting so much carbon and causing global warming, asthma and other kind of illness to people and nature. Most of these vehicles ( I would say at-least 60% even-though i don't have any statistical data) are going to a near by supermarket, shop or a shopping mall to 'buy stuff'. almost 40% of the land in a city or a town is occupied by some kind of merchandise/shop/eat outs/shopping malls/movie halls.
Problems with shopping:
Solution : online shopping or e shopping.
Advantages of e shopping
Problems with shopping:
- Face the agony of heavy traffic
- cause heavy traffic
- cause environment pollution by high carbon emission
- noise pollution by moving vehicles, horns etc.,
- cause health related issues like asthma
- cause stress due to traffic, noise, tiredness of traveling to the shopping destination
- waste of time in traveling and buying stuff
- rise in real estate prices due to the demand for land to setup shops
- increase in price of houses, since a lot of land is invested for shops
- The price you pay for the product=actual price of the product+profit for the shop+maintenance of the product (lighting, staff, rent for the shop etc.,)
- your choice of products is limited by the number of products available in the shop, if you don't have what you want then you have to travel to another shop
- wait in line or queue to pay for what you have bought which usually consumes more time than the time you took to buy half of your stuff.
