Goods transportation

• Express shipping is often not necessary when ordering goods. Switching to regular shipping means lower CO₂ emissions.

• Express delivery is often associated with high CO₂ emissions.

• Purchasing or borrowing from local suppliers instead of ordering from distant sources avoids transport costs and conserves resources.

• Many returns can be avoided with careful planning. This also reduces emissions, simply because there is no need for transportation.

• The use of (e-)cargo bikes or transport bikes enables more environmentally friendly and efficient transport.

• Shipping by bicycle courier significantly reduces the CO₂ emissions caused by transport.

• Limiting transport by car to what is necessary is helpful in the endeavour to reduce emissions and conserve resources.

• Choosing haulage services with low-emission fleets improves the carbon footprint of transport.

• Using ground-based transport for shipments within Europe compared to air freight minimises the environmental impact of transport.

• Organising intercontinental tours as sea freight instead of air freight significantly reduces CO₂ emissions.

• Scenographers and technicians might consider replicating stage sets on site. The emissions associated with transporting stage sets can be eliminated by using replicas.

• Logistics companies with fuel-efficient vehicles enable sustainable and efficient transport.
