The analysis showed that total greenhouse gas footprints per item purchased were higher
from physical stores than those from bricks & clicks purchases in 63% of the shopping events
but lower than those of pure players in 81% of shopping events in the United Kingdom. In
the United States, greenhouse gas emissions from shopping at physical stores were also
estimated to be higher than from the brick & click channel, and lower than the pure play
channel, on average.

"It really depends on the country and consumer behavior there."
