has brought some advantages to the

easy. As for environmental concerns, shopping online would benefit in various ways for

environment

protection.

Firstly

, it reduces fossil emission by staying at home and not using private or public transport,

such

as cars, buses and trains, leading to a considerable reduction of the level of greenhouse gases, so that global warming could be effectively controlled. The

environment

would be healthier, as we saw in the period of

Furthermore

, buying goods online means that people are less motivated to go out; which in effect minimise contaminations in beaches and rivers,

such

as plastic bottles and bags, resulting in cleaner waters and unpolluted natural

environment

. As reported in the news, a dolphin appeared recently in the stream of Venice during Covid-19 lockdown. Overall shopping online is a positive movement.

On the other hand

, online shopping brought some downside to the economy and people’s lives. Businesses like high

street

shops would be more vulnerable due to fewer customers coming to high

street

shopping, resulting in shops closing down and people lost their jobs, unable to pay their food and mortgages.

Besides

, closing down high

street

shops would attract even fewer customers coming to high

or shopping moor. It is not only affecting clothing

hitting food and entertainment industry,

such

as restaurants and cinemas, leading to the shrinkage of high

street

shops and business; challenging the ways of traditional business work. In conclusion, shopping online could improve the

environment

by reducing greenhouse gases and contaminations. At the same time, it damages current economics, causes both shop owners and workers to lose their business. It is clear that online shopping is an ongoing new trend; local authority and government should rethink strategies to help society overcome
