What exactly happens when you click checkout? I enjoy shopping online so much delivery drivers know my name, but interviewing for this episode of Green Tech Pulse got me thinking about my shopping habits... Just wrapped an interesting conversation with Mike Robinson of The Eighth Notch, Inc. (T8N) and former EVP of Macy's.com that made me rethink every online purchase I've ever made. Here's what shocked me: Our obsession with next-day and same-day delivery is creating a hidden environmental crisis with thousands of half-empty delivery trucks criss-crossing our cities, often going to the same buildings multiple times a day, just because we want our purchases yesterday! Mike's company, The Eighth Notch, is using AI to solve this in a fascinating way - imagine if all those deliveries could be synchronized automatically, without sacrificing convenience? In this episode, we uncover: - The true environmental cost behind that "free next-day delivery" - Why more delivery trucks doesn't mean faster deliveries - How AI is transforming the last mile problem - What conscious consumers can do to shop more sustainably - Why the future of retail might be "synchronized sustainability" If you shop online (who doesn't?), manage e-commerce, or care about sustainable business, this episode will change how you think about every purchase you make. This is one of our launch episodes dropping in February 2025 - and trust me, you'll never look at that checkout button the same way again!
