I don't mean not going to the mall, but it's stupid to drive to the store for groceries, etc. There is already a huge door-2-door delivery system (UPS, USPS, FedEx, Airborne Express, G.O.D.) so fine tune and use those.

Do you think there is any savings in gas by having the groceries driven to you rather than you driving to get them? Any small efficiences based on multiple deliveries to the same neighborhood would likely be evened out by the poor fuel efficiency of the delivery truck.

If you want to save resources, walk or ride your bicycle to the grocery store. Or get a more fuel efficient vehicle.
