One small thing that you can do - and many people are doing - to help the environment this holiday season is to purchase gifts online. Its easy and convinient and doesn’t require driving around to all the shops. However one thing that is often forgotten is that in order to deliver that package a truck must drive up to the destination address (your home for example) and deliver the package itself. While this is better than driving ones car around to all the shops, it still has a reasonable carbon footprint in its own right.

To furthur negate that carbon footprint, having the package delivered to your workplace is an effective way. Since the delivery company is already likely to be sending a truck to your workplace the incremental cost (and carbon footprint) of adding one more package to that delivery is very low.
