Editing Subscription business model (section)

===Environment===
Because customers may only need or want some of the items received, this can lead to waste and an adverse effect on the environment, depending on the products. Greater volumes of production, greater energy and natural [[resource consumption]], and subsequently greater disposal costs are incurred.{{Citation needed|reason=Reference to this theory or any literature |date=August 2022}}

Subscription models also create the opposite effect. This can be illustrated by subscribing to a service for mowing lawns. The effective use of a single mower increases when mowing for a collection of homes; instead of every family owning a lawnmower that is not used as much as the service-providing mower, the use of resources for producing lawnmowers, therefore, decreases while lawns stay cut.{{Citation needed|reason=Reference to this theory or any literature |date=August 2022}}
