澳洲的圣诞购物正在增加货运量, Qantas Freeder预计将运出超过50 000吨的货物, 比去年增加5%。 Christmas shopping in Australia is boosting freight deliveries, with Qantas Freight expecting to move over 50,000 tonnes of goods, a 5% increase from last year. 这种激增助长了全球温室气体排放,2019年,运输占这些排放的15%。 This surge contributes to global greenhouse gas emissions, with transport responsible for 15% of these emissions in 2019. 在线快时装站和低成本市场加剧了这一问题,因为货物通过碳密集型方法长途跋涉。 Online fast fashion sites and low-cost marketplaces exacerbate the issue, as goods travel long distances via carbon-intensive methods. 尽管网上销售自8月以来增长了6.4%, 但五分之四的购物者仍更喜欢商店内购买。 Despite online sales rising by 6.4% since August, four in five shoppers still prefer in-store purchases. 专家建议选择质量而不是数量,并支持可持续做法,以减少环境影响。 Experts suggest choosing quality over quantity and supporting sustainable practices to reduce the environmental impact.
