Transportation
Not only is it important to make conscious choices when you travel, but also when you buy things that have been transported.
In Stockholm, there are many environmentally friendly and sustainable ways to get food and other goods home without having to transport them in your own car.
Buy your food in an eco-smart way
- Groceries are a major part of the products that we buy. In Stockholm there are many ways to get your food delivered without having to transport it with your own car.
- Shop in a store near you.
- Get good quality bicycle bags or a shopping cart to transport heavy bags of food.
- Use a cargo bike or a bicycle trailer. Perhaps there is a cargo bike-pool in your neighbourhood, or a bicycle trailer to borrow?
- Reflect on buying your food with home delivery. In Stockholm there is a large array of food stores where you can shop online and get the food delivered to your door.
- Consider if a “free flowing car share” can be an alternative for you. This way you can go to the store without a car, do the shopping, and then pay only for the car ride home.
Choose ecofriendly home delivery
- Several delivery companies in Stockholm offer sustainable transport – for example food deliveries by bicycle or environmental vehicles for bulky loads.
- Order Returtjänst (return service) for bulky waste at Stockholm Vatten och Avfall. With this service you can get your things picked up by your door.
