I have a package coming.

So I ordered a bunch of Kleenex Tissues.They originated in a warehouse in Arlington, Tx; about 500 miles from me.They are now in Louisville, Ky; about 1400 miles from me.Does this make sense?Is there a way to change general behavior?Edited by jar, : No reason given.

Yes, exactly. Economy wins over environment. FedEx and UPS and even the Post Office as well as almost all businesses are Economy driven rather than environment or sustainability driven.But if we really are going to try to address stuff like global warming we will almost certainly need to look beyond Economy.

Exactly.

Not Amazon and I thought it was a local (but big box) store. I did order online because I simply do not go into stores anymore if there is anyway to avoid it. Locally we are back at the Covid-19 infection rates last seen a year ago AND no longer actually reporting many cases. For example Texas schools are not required to report either student or faculty Covid-19 cases. There is also absolutely no attempt for contact tracing and our State government is prohibiting mask mandates or vaccine requirements.

Actually I'd be more than willing to make some pretty drastic if that were possible. I miss the days when certain things had there seasons and then were gone for the rest of the year. I'd be willing to do without if there were reasonable options.But the issue of honesty is real. We do not educate people to be thoughtful, but rather consumers and worker bees.And so I don't see much opportunity for reasonable change.That does not mean though that such change may well be mandated and enforced by reality.
