E12.Why ‘Instant Delivery’ Is Bad For Our Planet (And How This Ex-Macy’s Executive Is Fixing It)

In this revealing episode of Green Tech Pulse, host Peter Banigo sits down with Mike Robinson, former EVP of Macy’s.com and founder of The Eighth Notch, to uncover the hidden environmental cost of our online shopping habits.

With each unnecessary delivery stop creating 800 grams of CO2, our addiction to “instant delivery” is generating millions of tons of carbon emissions annually. Mike explains how his company’s AI technology coordinates deliveries from different retailers to arrive on the same day – cutting carbon emissions without requiring new vehicles or fuels.

Learn why Amazon is quietly shifting from “fast delivery” to “sustainable delivery,” how retailers can save money while reducing their carbon footprint, and practical ways you can make more sustainable shopping choices. Mike shares fascinating insights from his retail career and explains why “the most sustainable mile is the one never driven.”

This episode offers practical solutions to one of e-commerce’s biggest environmental challenges for online shoppers, retail business owners, and sustainability professionals alike
