We use electric vehicles for 25% of our deliveries and a hybrid for outlying areas. We purchase travel offsets which support NC Green Power's mission to provide alternative energy to the citizens of NC. 5% of the distribution is done car-free through creative equipment options which provide repositories for restocking the business district.<br /><br />Behavioral shifts are as effective as design modifications when considering strategies which reduce a business's carbon footprint. Paul Hawken wrote that small business is the understory of commerce. Grass Routes believes that innovative small business is the undercurrent of change.Sammyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00046480871656379061noreply@blogger.com
