Is There a Mega Warehouse Near You?
https://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/map-mega-warehouses-near-you
The explosion of online shopping has led to a frenzy of warehouse construction in almost every region of the United States. To accommodate the flow of merchandise, Amazon and other online retailers have built what they call “fulfillment centers” in key hubs where zoning is welcoming (or nonexistent) and land is cheap. Today in the United States, there are 39,116 warehouses and distribution centers larger than 100,000 square feet, and they can be found in rural and suburban areas as well as urban ones. For nearby residents, the arrival of the mega warehouses means that traffic noise and air pollution bombard them at all times of the day, all year. But not everyone is impacted equally by the explosion of e-commerce. Often, the consequences fall hardest on communities of color. Use this map to view the distribution of mega-warehouses in your city or state.
