Do you recycle? Share a ride with someone else to work? Drink water out of a reusable container versus a plastic bottle? These are things you can do every day to become a little more environmentally responsible.

If everyone worked together, look what we can do!

Office Paper

Every ton of recycled office paper saves 380 gallons of oil.

Hybrid Cars

Hybrids produce less than half of the emissions standard gasoline engines produce. So for every car we have on the road we are saving 17-30 tons of carbon emissions each year. A courier that uses a small truck emits 38.6 tons of carbon emissions a year. **Based on the average courier that drives 60,000 miles per year.

Fuel Efficiency

If fuel economy were improved by 5 mpg, American consumers would save 1.5 million barrels of oil per day and reduce carbon emissions by 55 million metric tons per day.

 

Compare Trucks to Hybrid Cars

You don't have to be an environmentalist to love hybrid cars. Consider the following: ACME Construction has a fleet of 10 work trucks that together drive 2,500 miles a week, and guzzle $308 of gas a week. A new hybrid truck offered by a major manufacturer can save ACME Construction nearly $7,000 per year, in gasoline costs alone. When factoring in lower depreciation and tax incentives, this number skyrockets.
