Do Just One Thing

Danny Seo on

It's believed that nearly 30% of items purchased online are returned to the retailer. What you may not know is that about one-fourth of returned items are landfilled. This is because they are not suitable to be restocked, are damaged or simply cost too much to restock vs. being thrown out. That equals about 10 billion pounds of goods landfilled every year, plus the CO2 emissions to ship the goods to their destinations. When shopping online, be diligent when picking out your items, and return them only when it's absolutely necessary.
