Earth Day News: Shopping Online is Green!

Happy Earth Day!  
A recent study by Carnegie Mellon University's Green Design Institute highlights that the environment benefits when you shop online. The study found that online shopping can result in a reduction of CO2 emissions when compared to shopping in traditional retail stores.  

At Kinek, we believe that the Kinek service will further reduce the carbon footprint of online shopping by streamlining the 'last mile' of online delivery and removing the need for couriers to make repeat deliveries.  

The Carnegie Mellon study can be found @ the Green Design Institute website.
