Directory of courier services highlights environmentally friendly options

By | November 26, 2009, 2:30 AM PST

The good news: Your company can now opt to send packages or documents or whatever else via select courier and messenger services that have been labelled “green” by consulting the ShipGooder national directory. For example, your business could choose only to use services that use bike messengers or that have fleets running on alternative fuels.

The bad news, when I ran a quick check of the local green options in the nearest metropolitan area listed for me (New York City), I only found one green highlighted option out of the more than 800 that showed up on that link.

Nationwide there are about 200 green choices listed in the directory today, though, and ShipGooder pledges to keep apdding them.

Writing publicly about what the high-tech industry is actually doing to help itself and the world get greener or more sustainable is one way I figure I can contribute more meaningfully to said effort. I'm also a big OMG-kind-of-fan of smart leadership, which is why the goodly folks who publish this blog let me go on about this topic and why I am always on the hunt for forward-looking business management ideas.

My daily writing is focused on looking for topics for my blogs, GreenTech Pastures and Business Brains. I also write often about emerging technology trends such as mobile computing, unified communications and cloud computing. Occasionally, I will pop up at an industry conference in some sort of speaking capacity. In cases where a speaking engagement involves a sponsor that may be covered in this blog, that fact will be disclosed in coverage as appropriate.

My corporate writing work usually consists of crafting research white papers about some aspect of technology. In the event that my commentary (in written, audio or video form) mentions a company for which I have provided consulting advice, I will disclose that fact. However, there is no connection between these projects and the topics that I'm covering in my blog.
