In the green shipping business, we spend a lot of time reading the news and monitoring trends in the industry.  We are very encouraged by the green initiatives that all the US based carriers have been pursuing.  With biofuels for air travel, hybrid trucks for delivery, new propulsion systems for trucks, and supply chain optimization, the industry is poised to make a big impact on the footprint of world-wide shipping.  It is no small task and to realize that it is a priority is encouraging to say the least.  Reducing emissions is always better than offsetting them.  While it takes time, we hope that some day, through innovation and continued investment in the transportation infrastructure, that we become obsolete in the shipping process.  We encourage our readers and members to contact their shippers and let them know that you see what they are doing and that you support it 100%.  We’ll post articles as they come out that highlight the state of the industry and the technology advancements that are being made.  

Have a great weekend!
