Our local UPS driver visits our street a shocking number of times every week, mainly because I am not the only home-based free agent on my block. So it’s good to hear that the company is taking new steps to reduce its carbon emissions in the air, too, by using better flow control software pretty much anywhere it can. Its aim is to cut carbon emissions for its airborne fleet by another 20 percent through the year 2020. Read this Fast Company post to find out more details. Chances are you don’t have the same transportation network to manage as UPS does, but you DO have choices about which transporation companies to use for your own products and this should be one sort of thing that factors in that decision.

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.
