The New Year is here and many of us are thinking of ways to become healthier and to take steps to protect the environment in both big and small ways.
Did you know that you can reduce your carbon footprint by shopping local? Data from third-party returns processing firm B-Stock indicates that 30% of items purchased online are returned. This compares with just 10% of in-store sales. Physical stores are a more efficient way of transporting products and fulfill a pivotal role in a sustainable retail industry. Research from Sequoia Partnership shows that up to 11 times more fuel is required to deliver a single product to a customer’s house from a distribution center and let’s not forget about all of the packaging that is included with mail order services.
With over 40 shops, services and restaurants, Carmel Mountain Ranch Town Center is your one-stop location for grocery shopping, special services (such as shoe repair, UPS, hair and nail services) as well as banking and dining. Plus, don’t forget the added benefits from walking as you to take care of all your shopping and errands! Bottom line, reduce your carbon footprint and enjoy fresh air and exercise by shopping at Carmel Mountain Ranch Town Center in 2022. Happy New Year!
