Online Shopping Is Greener Than Travelling To The Shops
Several internet retailers have recently stated that it is significantly better for the environment for consumers to shop online and have their goods delivered to their house than to journey to the shops, but what research is there to uphold this claim that online shopping is greener?
Overall the research advised that, while neither home delivery nor traditional shopping has an absolute ***Carbon dioxide advantage***, but on average the home delivery procedure is likely to generate a lesser amount of CO2 when compared to a typical shopping trip. A typical van-based drop produced 181g CO2 per item, ın comparison with 4,274g CO2 for an average journey to the shops by car and 1,265g CO2 for an average bus traveler.

二酸化炭素の（絶対的）優位性
absoluteがくせ者では？
宅配にしろ、お買い物にでかけるにしろ、いずれも、必ず二酸化炭素を排出する、すなわち、二酸化炭素の排出に関しては相対的な比較しかできない、ということだと思います。

二酸化炭素がもたらす利点／有益性
宅配便と従来の買い物の仕方を比べると（どちらも車を使う限り二酸化炭素を排出する事にかわりはないので）絶対的な利点／有益性がある訳ではないが、自家用やバスで買い物に行く事と比較すると、宅配便は酸化炭素の排出量が格段に低い、という事ではないでしょうか。

: I left out 利点 because of the English wording. I think Andou understood the meaning wanted clarification because when put into Japanese it is more contradictory (whereas the source is more colloquial overall).
