Turns out laziness is good for the environment. According to a new study, ordering your groceries online and having them delivered is much more eco-friendly than driving to the store to shop. Researchers used Seattle to test their hypothesis, drawing a map of every home in the city and then assigning each household to the closest grocery store. But even shopping close to home expended about double the carbon dioxide than having groceries delivered, says the Post-Intelligencer.
