As consumers demand faster shipping times, carriers scrambling to make next-day deliveries don’t pack trucks as efficiently, meaning delivery trucks make their rounds with extra space in the back. 因为消费者要求快递速度要快，快递公司要想实现次日送达在装卡车时就不会高效利用空间，送货卡车的车厢里就会有剩余空间。 It also means that each package has a higher carbon footprint. But a new shipping carrier called Sendle is designed to make use of that wasted space. 这也意味着每个包裹均摊的碳排放量就更大，但一个名为Sendle的新的快递公司打算要好好利用被浪费的空间。 Sendle, an Australian logistics company that launched in the U.S. today, buys the extra room on other carriers’ trucks to make shipments for small businesses. Sendle是一家现在在美国成立的澳大利亚物流公司，它买下了其他快递公司卡车上的剩余空间用来为小商家送快递。 It also buys carbon offsets for each package, making it the first 100% carbon-neutral national delivery service in the country. The company’s use of extra space means that it can offer the service affordably.” 它也买下了每个包裹的碳补偿，成为了该国首个100%碳中和国内快递服务公司。这家公司对剩余空间的利用意味着它可以提供经济实惠的服务。 It doesn’t have to be a choice between carbon-neutral and saving money,” says Sendle CEO and cofounder James Chin Moody. “You can actually do both.” |
