How does delivering milk by electric float improve sustainability?

There are certainly more sustainable ways to live (i.e. growing and processing your own food) but it's a case of one step at a time and making little improvements.

It would surely be a step forward if instead of 30,000 cars per month driving to the Tescopoly Superstore, those people had their groceries delivered in a few electric vehicles. In my case a lot more than milk gets delivered and all bottles are washed and put out for collection.

I'd also argue that it would be better to pay people to deliver goods in a community, than pay them to be unemployed.

That argument only works if it is ALL their groceries, and not just milk.

I don’t agree. I have over half of my groceries delivered and pick up the rest at the market or the local shops. I never need to go to a big supermarket in a car.

For others though it might be different; it might that they still feel the need to go to a hypermarket, only less frequently.

One more thing; perhaps deliveries of different items (post, groceries etc) could be combined in a general service. If private motoring becomes very expensive, it might become an essential service for many people in some areas.

We are just cogs in a huge machine.

We can't improve the way the machine operates in a significant binary fashion.

We can only do what we can, perhaps in very small increments.

However the sum of millions of these small changes can (might?) improve society.
