Veteran Costco shoppers are familiar with the limited-run vendor roadshows for high-end (but heavily discounted) items like Vitamix or Traeger grills that liven up Costco warehouses, particularly on weekends.

The “surprise treasure” nature of these offerings flesh out the private label Kirkland Signature brand of products that draw shoppers in regularly. But Costco is employing a similar strategy in an out-of-the-way online portal of its website. It’s called Costco Next, and it contains a curated selection of limited goods Costco says are supplied by “some of Costco’s most trusted suppliers.” They’re mostly in the home goods, tech, fashion and outdoors realms – a hodgepodge of retailers you might know and some you probably don’t.

To let the warehouse giant explain it, “this innovative approach helps us achieve our goal of bringing a broader selection of goods to our members while increasing the value of the Costco membership.” That’s a

VII. How Can We Solve This?

E-commerce is likely here to stay, so reducing its environmental and public health impacts centers on fixing the operations of all those trucks. Doing so would also have a major climate benefit, since transportation (including the shipping of goods) is the number one source of US greenhouse gas emissions.

In March 2022, the EPA proposed a rule to reduce truck pollution beginning in 2027. But most clean-transportation advocates argue that the rule should be stronger. “It’s just an update to a previous regulation that says manufacturers need to be cleaning up trucks,” says Katherine Garcia, director of the Sierra Club’s Clean Transportation for All campaign. “The regulations haven’t been updated in 20 years.”

The EPA is expected to deliver a more stringent truck-pollution standard later in the year. In the meanwhile, reforms from state, county, and municipal leaders could help to clean up this

Pinduoduo did not respond to a request for comment when contacted by CNBC.

Meet marks Pinduoduo’s biggest push overseas yet as the domestic Chinese economy faces a number of challenges from a resurgence of Covid-19 to an energy crunch. That has hurt economic growth in China and dampened consumer sentiment.

Last month Tesla stopped providing chrome license plate frames with new vehicle deliveries, saying it was being taken out of production to further remove chrome from their vehicle designs.

In an internal email Tesla said they would begin selling a black license plate frame at a later date, and today they did just that, adding satin black frames to the Tesla Shop.

Along with the model specific frames that are now available in satin black, Tesla added a new frame with a new laser etched phrase – ‘POWERED BY THE SUN,’ which Tesla says is “inspired by the solar-powered products that are helping accelerate the transition to sustainable energy.”

The product description says they are made from stainless steel with a premium satin black finish. They also have a premium price, selling for $50 CAD or $40 USD. The frames does not come with screws or screw caps.
