Pees in the brown Koolaid
I spent Friday handing out the new calendars to my pickup accounts. For those of you who havent seen them, they are considerably smaller and use less paper. It also appears that the paper is recycled. UPS is trying to "go green" with the new calendars.
Im all for recycling and downsizing. Most of my customers approved of the new calendars. I just hope that this new emphasis on enviornmental responsibility is sincere, and not just an attempt at politically correct "greenwashing".
UPS could make an immediate 20% reduction in greenhouse gases by switching our entire fleet of diesel vehicles over to a 20% (B20) mix of domestically produced biodiesel. This fuel blend would require no modifications to the fleet and it would help to support domestic producers of a renewable resource. In Portland, OR all of the mass transit buses and city-owned maintainence vehicles have been running on biodiesel for several years with no issues. When I am parked at a dock next to a FedEx truck with "Hybrid diesel electric vehicle" stickers all over it, it would sure be nice if my ride said "powered by biodiesel" in equally large letters.
