Environmentally friendly transportation and logistics operations?

Add comment January 10th, 2008

I’m developing a story about steps being taken by transportation, distribution, warehousing and general logistics operations to be more energy efficient and environmentally friendly. I know these industries use a lot of fuel to get goods to market, and with fuel prices so high, they’re looking for ways to save on costs and also reduce pollution.

UPS has some things its doing through its worldwide system. Anyone know of others who work in the Rockford region that have interesting stories to tell?
