Personally, I cannot change anything. Alternatively, is it possible?
The answer is definitely YES!
You can contribute to more sustainable freight transport, too. Your consumer behaviour directly influences the volume of freight traffic.
When shopping online, you can ensure that companies can bundle their transports by avoiding express delivery and by collecting your goods. Also, be sure to inform yourself about the products you are ordering in order to avoid unnecessary returns. In addition, by using parcel tracking or shipping to a parcel station, you can avoid multiple delivery attempts and thus additional transport routes.
In stationary shopping in supermarkets or other shops, you can avoid many individual transport routes by using public transport in the city centre. Visiting shopping centres also means that you travel shorter distances by car. In addition, by choosing sustainably produced or regionally produced products, you can ensure that the transport route of the consumed goods is as short as possible.
Therefore, there are many ways for you to make freight transport more sustainable!
