Shippers Warehouse will consider these initiatives infuture industrial developments when possible• Light colored, reflective roofing on warehouse projects, which:

• Helps reflect sunlight and reduces the “heat island” effect. Promotes more efficient HVAC usage.

• Rainwater collection efforts

• Create system to capture and collect rainwater runoff from the roof.

• Water can then be used for a variety of purposes, including landscapemaintenance or vehicle washing.

• Consider contracting with some localities to use “Grey water” for landscape• upkeep.

• Using partially treated waste water to feed lawns and shrubbery. This, plus rainwater recovery, can have a noticeable impact on overall water usage.

• Attempt to use building materials suppliers located within the metropolitan Atlanta area instead of out-of-state suppliers – reduces the amount of mileage trucks need to travel to deliver materials.

• Focus on materials that provide better climate management within warehouses and Distribution Centers.

Green Really IS the Color of Money Today

Transportation Footprint…everybody’s talking about it

Global Warming: Do You Believe It? Below is a chart on Global Fossil Carbon Emissions

Belief is Irrelevant- See Oil reserves, production scenario trends

Transportation is more dependent on liquid energy

Transportation accounts for a larger percentage of liquid fuels.

Alternatives such as solar, wind, geothermal and nuclear aren’t practical in transportation

The Greening in Transportation Footprint is equally important in the Environmental and Monetary area

In Corporate Sustainability.... Survival is a synonym for Sustainability
