High hopes: How Amazon’s Drones Could Transform Delivery and Cut Emissions

Douglas McIntyre, editor-in-chief of Climate Crisis 24/7, discusses how Amazon’s plan to make deliveries by drones could help reduce its carbon footprint. Unlike traditional trucks, which emit significant pollution, drones operate on electricity and produce negligible emissions. Amazon’s advanced drone program in Germany sets a promising example, highlighting the potential for the flying cargo-carriers to replace a significant portion of the company’s delivery fleet and lower emissions globally.
