Green Express Encourages Customers to Consider Earth Hour

Atlanta’s skyline will join buildings around the globe for World Wildlife Fund’s annual Earth Hour by turning off non-essential lights on Saturday, March 27, at 8:30 p.m. local time.

For 2010, Earth Hour Atlanta seeks metro area commitments to surpass previous participation and to make a lasting impact on energy savings.

The annual global event organized by WWF is held on the last Saturday of March. Households and businesses are asked to do something quite simple—turn off lights for one hour in a call for action on climate change.

The collective actions demonstrate what can be accomplished when working together to protect the planet for future generations. Earth Hour 2009 gained support from nearly one billion people in 4,100 cities in 87 countries.

Energy savings affect water supply, air quality and economic development, all critical issues for Atlanta. “Our goal this year is to provide more ways for people to participate in Atlanta and learn what they can do beyond Earth Hour to make our communities more sustainable,” said Executive Director of Sustainable Atlanta Lynnette Young.

Earth Hour metrics are based on commitments made at www.myearthhour.org. To list a building—business, church, school, university, government—add it after entering your name when pledging. More than 400 buildings participated in the 2009 metro Atlanta effort.

"The momentum built over the last two years is certainly evident in the interest in participation we have across the City of Atlanta. We are committed to reducing our energy consumption at this hour, on this day; and throughout the year in city facilities," said Director of Sustainability, City of Atlanta Mandy Mahoney.

The “go-to” web site for local information on Earth Hour Atlanta is http://www.southeastgreen.com/ with updates posted at http://www.twitter.com/EarthHourATL .

Green Express Atlanta Promotes Clean Air Campaign of Georgia

Here is the text from our recent promotion of the Clean Air Campaign. The video can be viewed by clicking on the link below.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA1d9dkjtmw

This is Jay Holgate with Green Express couriers in Atlanta and I want to put in a plug for my friends at the clean air campaign. I know these guys are working hard to improve Atlanta's air quality.

We got so excited about the Clean Air Campaign that we changed our entire business model to be more earth friendly. Green Express couriers now use hybrid electric cars which emit 80% less toxins than our courier competitors.

Going greener has been great for business too because we picked up hundreds of loyal customers who are committed to a better Atlanta. The Clean Air campaign pushed us to reconsider our office and the resources used in multiple people driving to work every day.

The end result was we closed our office, bought laptop computers and we now have everyone working from home or mobile. We are saving thousands of dollars in fuel per year and time driving back and forth to the office.

Today, Green Express is Atlanta's Only Eco-friendly courier and we service many companies like your who want to do the best thing for our environment.

Green Express Delivers Blankets & Coats to Homeless During Cold Snap

With temperatures dropping quickly, Green Express couriers is picking up blankets and coats from Atlanta businesses and distributing them to the Atlanta Union Mission. With sub-freezing weather, there are rising needs in the homeless community for protection.

Because the weather temperatures were dropping below freezing for an extended period of time, the courier company felt it was crises time for some Atlanta families and wanted to help.

The services homeless men seek during these times are emergency rescue services. Atlanta Union Mission hopes to invite them in to receive recovery and re-entry services that will help homeless men move from the streets to independent living.

“Extreme weather often forces many homeless men to seek refuge when they normally would be unwilling to seek help,” said Atlanta Union Mission CEO Jim Reese. “The Shepherd’s Inn starts by welcoming these men into our facility to meet their basic needs for a night and then extends the offer to help them help themselves and come in off of the streets permanently.”

Many of the men who come in off of the street come with just the clothes they are wearing at that time. Atlanta Union Mission not only provides them a warm place to sleep, a hot shower and hot meals, but additional clothing.

“We are always in need of men’s clothing and shoes, especially when weather is severe,” said Reese. “Men often come to the shelter as a last resort and many have been sleeping under bridges and overcoats without gloves, hats or layers of clothing to protect them against the sub-freezing temperatures.”

For individuals who want to donate, Atlanta Union Mission is also collecting blankets and winter coats for men, women and children in need with Project Overcoat The program is sponsored by Kroger, Fed Ex and Fox 5. Individuals with extra blankets and coats can take them to area Kroger stores beginning Saturday, January 9.

Atlanta Union Mission is a 71-year-old organization that serves the homeless and addicted of Atlanta and north Georgia. AUM is a comprehensive Christian-based ministry that provides rescue, recovery and re-entry programs for thousands of homeless and at risk men, women and children.

Programs range from emergency food and shelter to residential recovery programs and transitional housing. The Mission has five facilities in metro Atlanta and north Georgia.

Green Express is Atlanta’s Only eco-friendly courier, delivering packages in Metro Atlanta in hybrid cars which are better for the Atlanta environment. Green Express was a sponsor in the Canstruction project which is a food charity organized by the Society for Design Administration.

Green Express was named Innovative company of the Year in 2007 by the Clean Air Campaign of Georgia. www.GreenDelivers.com

If employees of businesses can bring blankets and coats to their business office, Green Express couriers will have one of their drivers pick up the supplies and deliver them to the Atlanta Union Mission during this critical time. For pick up, please call 770-394-3131. Other donated items should be taken to a local Kroger.

For more information about Atlanta Union Mission or to donate during this critical time, go to www.AtlantaUnionMission.org or call 404-588-4000.
