E-commerce helps reduce CO levels

Nice to know that being an online buyer is also being Eco-friendly

A recent study by a swiss Cabinet (Estia) for Telemarket.fr (french online supermarket) would prove that shopping online reduces by a factor of 8,3 the amount ont Co2 emissions.

Ay caramba.... imagine if all online retailers start using the GREEN arguments :)
