Perhaps you were only speaking of your own fuel usage, but saying you do not use any is still inaccurate. The fuel may not come out of your tank but it certainly used by the planes, trains, big rigs and delivery trucks that bring things to your door, and you still pay for it as shipping costs.

Brian ....... you are making it sound like ANY fuel use is no good. There is a certain amount of fuel that will be used regardless and I don't consider it a waste to purchase something that was shipped with a whole bunch of other things. The companies are doing their best to reduce shipping costs.

If you do not shop on Black Friday how do you save resources when you do shop for holidays?
