E-Commerce and the Environment
Preliminary results indicate that when products are bought and sold on the web and shipped directly to consumers (B2C), there will likely be a negative impact on the environment, due to energy expended and emissions created by shipping small packages overnight by air or truck. But if customer and product information is used to integrate B2C and other environmental factors, e-commerce can have a positive environmental impact, attributable to reduced over-production and reduced inventory.
