subject: Progress Toward A More Green Environment By The Auto Shipping Industry [print this page] Environmental changes on our planet are a reality, no longer in the realm of alchemy and pseudoscience. Thus, it is in the best interests of our world as well as of all industrial operations to take the necessary steps to avoid further deterioration of our planet. Note the growing popularity of hybrid vehicles, wind farms and just about any form of alternative energy.
Landfill waste and energy consumption is reduced through green homebuilding, which seems to have caught on. Cities start campaign such as those meant to reduce electricity consumption by up to 80% through replacement of regular light bulbs for more effective and economic innovative illumination. One can see great transparent plastic containers in public squares half-filled with discarded bulbs or batteries.
Auto shipping companies are following this path and are attempting to stop the depletion of our natural resources and to reduce global warming. The auto shipping is a rather recent development and is experiencing massive growth in our increasingly global society. Because of their newness, they are keenly aware of modern problems such as environmental pollution of all kinds and have been part of the green movement for years, with very little fanfare.
It is undoubtedly due to this new emergence of the industry that they are able to understand their potential for cleaning up the planet. In the wake of serious environmental pollution caused by container vessels, oil freighters and trucks, to name a few of the master polluters, they must put a great deal of effort into innovative technology to avoid future accidents in their own shipping industry as well as in others. They desire to do this because it is the right thing to do for the environment and the right thing to do for the economic survival of this huge and burgeoning industry.
One fairly large auto shipping company by some estimations can save up to three million gallons of fuel, thereby reducing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by 38 million pounds. Since the number of these companies are greatly expanding, their embracing of green technology is of utmost importance to their public image and to our environment.
Lets do the math. The benefits to our environment of eco-friendly auto shipping companies is staggering. Take a hypothetical case of only one auto shipping company per state, the national savings would amount to around 150 million gallons of fuel and approximately two billion pounds of greenhouse gases not pumped into our atmosphere. If only even half of the auto shipping companies would unite their efforts and support green technology, the result would be to make tremendous progress towards a greener environment.
Many vehicles are still being personally driven, of course, and the auto shipping companies alone will not be the answer to the global problem, but the leading names in the industry can be proud of their significant contribution and may be set as an example of future-oriented modern industries who soberly realize that their future depends on the stability of national and international climate and who manage, despite the daunting complexities of the challenge, to make the transition to greener operation while remaining at the top of the industrial world.
