I think the answer is yes.

Poor Besos cannot decide what and how he delivers. He just needs to deliver to anybody who posts an order on the website someone put up on the internet. Kinda like Santa?

He can decide, and his middle managers can decide, and you can also decide by choosing to shop from somewhere else.

How do I know which shop is the best? I don't. Neoliberal fantasies only work with an informed consumer, just like democracies only work with educated voters.

That's why you can't make consumers responsible for the emissions the suppliers emit.

The information is out there if you wanna find it. The truth is most people don't care, though. That's on us.

Misinformation is also out there unfortunately. Can't believe for instance people are still debating whether plant-based diets are better for the climate or not.
