[–] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 3 points 1 year ago* (1 child) You don't need 1 car trip for every single meal if you cook yourself. You obviously buy in bulk, usually for a whole week. That's 6/7 car trips saved. That's kinda the whole point of having a car, so you can transport a lot of goods home. At least, that's the point in my country. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) In practice, sometimes you have to improvise, if something goes bad, or you realize you're missing a key ingredient, or you're too tired after a hard day etc permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) Sure. But none of those things happen on a daily basis. At least, they shouldn't with a modicum of planning. It still saves probably at least half of the trips permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Die4Ever 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) Sure.

In aggregate, it still saves probably at least half of the trips. You're not really arguing that getting takeaway and buying food ingredients in bulk is just as bad when it comes to the amount of car trips, right? That seems ludicrous. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Die4Ever 3 points 1 year ago* No I'm just saying these delivery services have their place. And they're at least more efficient (in terms of fuel) than doing pickup yourself. They can group orders and daisy chain their routes. permalink fedilink source parent
