In your post, examine the environmental and social sustainability of warehousing operations. As you saw in Module Three's reading, warehouse operations present both constructional and operational impacts on the environment. In addition, warehouses have a social impact in regard to the workforce and the greater community. In your post, explain the following:

• How does the decision between owning and leasing a warehouse affect the environmental impact a company will have with its warehousing operations?
• When choosing a warehouse location (either to purchase or lease), prioritize ease of access to freight nodes, proximity to the end customer, and overall social impact as critical elements.
• How would you balance these competing priorities when selecting a warehouse location?
