Do you realize how self important you have to be to believe that you, picking 2 day or 3 day shipping, will have an affect on the Earth?
This type of thinking is what turns people against green people.
Work = force times distance
Unless the mode of transport is different, that is air instead of ground, the carbon footprint should be the same. With differences in transport, the difference is in the efficiency of the transportation.
When I was in University, there were University bookstores and there was a used bookstore for older textbooks.

If you use fully electric energy driven ship or nuclear energy driven ship except petroleum or cool driven ship no carbon dioxide emitted and no problem.

Thank you.

Only if the agent breaths heavy.
Perhaps an unusual question, but I'm a hugely concerned with the environment, and I should probably not place orders on Amazon in the first place if I'm concerned with Carbon-dioxide emissions created when shipping orders from one place to another (between the vehicle transport, planes, etc.), but I am a College student and I have no choice but to use Amazon to get my books.
This brings me to my question.... Is there any difference in carbon-dioxide levels emitted when you choose between two-day shipping and standard shipping, or is it practically all the same? Am I doing any less harm to the environment by choosing standard shipping over two-day shipping?
