We look at four clever ways to reduce carbon emissions from deliveries. Shops, offices, restaurants and homes all get lots of them every day, and this so-called 鈥渓ast mile鈥 in the logistics chain can be responsible for up to 50% of our goods鈥 shipping carbon footprint鈥 so what can we do to reduce it?

There are things we can all do about this problem too - William also has some tips for you to reduce the carbon cost of your deliveries.
