online vs offline retail stores, which one is better?

news by shafa diandra

we often question whether online shopping is better than in-store. of course, time and money are very precious. and we want it as simple; as much cost-saving as possible, even one says that online shopping helps reduces carbon waste and energy.

because there are no physical stores that require extra room for energy, water, and maintenance, you can put the products elsewhere; from storage at home to a larger warehouse waiting for a shipping cart. therefore, it is easy to answer that online shopping indeed is way better than traditional ones.

more accessible = more consumptive?

now here is this one question that we often lack to consider as environmental consumers have increased. which one is better? shop less in-store, with all the curation or consideration. or online, with less curation, more options, competitive selling, quick add to cart, and proceed. it seems that at least once a week, we did online shopping. more accessible? definitely. more consumptive? unfortunately, too.
