TIL that one of Germany’s biggest supermarket chains will stop producing printed marketing flyers this year. Their main argument is the climate and the numbers are insane:
Yearly savings:
- 390.000 m3 of wood
- 70.000 tons of CO2
- 380.000.000 kWh of energy
It’s the CO2 equivalent of roughly 60.000 ICE cars and the energy could power 100.000 4-person households for a year ?
