What an awesome country we live in. Free Speech allows Al Gore to preach global warming and travel the country with a movie showing how planet Earth is changing. At the same time, Rush Limbaugh hits the radio waves every day discounting every environmental claim. Both men can back up their cases with scientists and facts.
The global warming issue is upon us. Whether or not you believe in global warming, it appears that the earthquakes, hurricanes, and storms are of biblical proportions. The temperature fluctuations from mild weather at Christmas, to cold weather at Easter just seem out of place.
For the first time in 30 years, I spent time at the Masters Golf tournament in long pants with a jacket on, to battle 40 degree weather and 20 mile an hour winds. It seemed different. People were actually wearing heavy coats. I can’t remember experiencing that on Easter weekend.
Back at home in Georgia, Governor Sonny Perdue has supported teleworking as part of his campaign platform and now is working to get state employees to reduce energy consumption. We are encouraged by Governor Perdue’s openness to trying new technologies. We believe using couriers would be a huge energy reducer for the state of Georgia. Especially, now that Green Express has introduced hybrid cars to the Atlanta area. Hybrid cars use very little fuel and put 80% less toxins in the air. Hybrid couriers eliminate high cost of state vehicles, insurance, maintenance as well as time wasted by personnel delivering information or services that could have been performed by a “delivery professional.” Our delivery professionals can do multiple functions.
In Atlanta, Mayor Shirley Franklin has been very supportive of Green Initiatives. Anybody who works in Atlanta knows that we need to reduce the number of cars and trucks on the road. The high # of smog alerts is not good for anybody. Smog alerts are not good for business or the quality of life of our children. We are hoping to partner with the City of Atlanta for package delivery and other services that can be done effectively, reducing energy costs.
Green Express is going to be a good steward of the environment; that is our role. Partnerships with state and local governments and corporate businesses are key to our success. We will do every thing we can, to be a great corporate citizen while protecting the environment.
