My solarpunk dream is to stop receiving junk mail made of plasticized paper.
Hot take:
Packages though? Just have a Pickup store. Its part warehouse, part store, and you can get help finding and grabbing your boxes, or do it yourself. Is it a bit like a grocery store? I think so.
Problems to solve:
I hope one day we can get brick and mortar stores that sell products people want. I walked into a hardware store recently that had on their website multiple versions of the item I wanted, in stock at this store. Get there and they do not have what I'm looking for. ๐ฎโ๐จ
Also ordered two items from a big box and delivery defaults to sending it to the store. So I have one item, but not the other. The item at the store cost $3, so I don't care? It's theirs now.
My proposed solution:
What if, in an anarchist way, we had an open source service that keeps track of what is in stock in a store? You just scan items as you go and they are kept track of.
