With all of the breaking news on DHL abandoning domestic business, I wonder how FedEx and UPS will deal with Memphis and Alaska package routing. It's such a waste of fuel...

                FGX Partners with Spanish Chamber of Commerce for Green Gala

On June 11, the Spain-U.S. Chamber of Commerce in New York recognized the world’s leading generator of wind energy, the Spanish utility Iberdrola, with its coveted Business Leader of the Year Award. In honor of the company’s billions in investment in green energy initiatives, the Spanish chamber pulled out all the stops to make its annual black-tie event its greenest gala ever. To do so, the chamber turned to First Global Xpress to ensure that its international shipping was the greenest on the market.

                                                Shipgreener: Shipping’s dirty little secret

Your package that absolutely, positively has to be there is an environmental nightmare. You probably didn’t know that you shipments take the scenic route on their way to its final destination. The reason I say this is, if you’re like most businesses, you’re supporting or contracting with either FedEx, UPS or DHL.

        Our operation pollutes like crazy! But we’d be insane not to make it greener

We’re making our business greener. You’re invited to watch.

We’re an international shipper based in New York City. And we pollute. Yes, that’s right. I said it. We pollute. But today our company is making the commitment that over the next nine months-by the end of 2008-we will reduce our carbon footprint by 66% to become the most environmentally responsible air courier in the United States. Through this blog, you’re invited to watch us convert from a business that pollutes to one that is lean and green.
