TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27th RADIO SHOW

Green Express: Making Major Moves

BWAttachment528497-6.jpg

Today's show is about greening the transportation options available to us. In an increasingly global economy, how a product arrives to your front door is as important as "what" product you actually bought. Whether you are receiving important documents, beer, or exotic fish for your home aquarium, it all travels quite a distance to reach you; and that is the topic we're exploring today.

Today's Featured Radio Guest:

Jay Holgate - Founder and CEO of Green Express, an Atlanta based courier company whose hybrid fleet is the first eco-friendly courier service in the US.

Topics Discussed Today

Comments

With the launch of their Green Travel Hub website, travelers can book with green hotels, hybrid rental cars, and participate in carbon offsetting programs...OR book the vacation of their dreams and still feel good (and green) about it. They donate a portion of their revenue to a green group whether the travel booked was labeled green or not.
