An eco-friendly delivery from DHL

green_dhlbags.jpgI'm going to write this post through gritted teeth, since DHL are in my bad books right now having failed to get a long-awaited parcel to me twice already this week. But let's set personal grudges aside and look at the positive things the company is doing for the environment.

First, DHL has replaced all of its old delivery bags with eco-friendly ones. The new delivery bags are reusable, recyclable and will only take two years to degrade compared to normal bags that take 1,000 years. (I have to wonder here what's happened to the de-commissioned pouches -- perhaps will see them reinvented as dresses or umbrellas somewhere before too long.) But DHL isn't stopping there: other initiatives include the introduction of CNG powered vehicles and the use of bicycles for deliveries.

Sounds interesting but what about the CO2 emissions from air transportation, etc? Any news on that?
