Amazon shopping during the coronavirus pandemic: How to be a more ethical consumer

CNN  

CNN Business — Households across the country are facing a stark moral dilemma on a weekly, if not daily, basis: go out during the pandemic to shop for groceries and supplies but risk your own health, or order those same items online and risk the health of the people who pack and deliver them to you. “To date, we’ve made over 150 significant process changes at sites around the world to ensure the health and safety of our teams.” For customers who may feel uneasy about these workplace issues but are desperate for household goods, there are a range of options to shop more consciously, from avoiding unnecessary purchases on the platform and tipping Amazon’s grocery delivery workers handsomely to buying more from local stores online. But people are buying things they don’t need and it’s putting workers’ health at risk.” Although the issue is complex, shoppers who decide to continue using Amazon, or any online delivery platform, can keep a few best practices in mind. “People should not order things they don’t truly need,” said Dania Rajendra, director of ATHENA, a coalition of 52 organizations that closely scrutinize Amazon’s business practices. “It’s true that people are risking their health and their family’s health to make sure consumers have what they need, so shoppers should remember this and only buy something if it’s important.” An Amazon spokesperson told CNN Business it is prioritizing items such as household staples, sanitizers, baby formula and medical supplies.
