People probably consumed a similar amount as before. The emissions reduction probably came from people traveling less because of lockdowns. But yeah, the whole story could be bs
Reminder that Amazon and food delivery services posted Earth shattering record profits during that period, which doesn't line up with similar rates of consumption.
Amazon has seriously expanded its delivery fleet with fluid couriers also, as has FedEx. I'm sure UPS has had to hire more as well, and I know local USPS has been on a massive hiring craze.
Amazon, FedEx, UPS, and USPS might’ve expanded because people were driving themselves to the stores less. So some car emissions were replaced by delivery vehicle emissions. But people would’ve been eating food, using toiletries, etc at a similar rate. I think a real decrease in emissions might’ve come from replacing in-person visits with zoom or other teleconferencing when offices and schools were locked down.

That should be the standard, when possible.
Kids in the same neighborhood can get together at parents' home and rotate. Either a teacher comes to them in person or by video conference.
Work from home if you can. That way you can spend time with family.
I want to see more families. More three and four generation families.
And the cities nearly deserted.
Basically, I want to go back in time to about 1900 or earlier but keep the technology.
