Center for Transportation and Logistics Research Scientist Josué Velázquez Martínez discusses how online and in-store shopping can impact the climate. “In general, anybody that is in logistics and supply chains agree that having one or two or three days more to deliver is always better,” Velázquez Martínez says.
