A pilot program from the U.S. General Services Administration offers a voluntary means for the federal government and its suppliers to work in a greener, more efficient supply chain.

Are greenhouse gases the right measure? Are you tracking emissions in your supply chain?

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Material Handling & Supply Chain Technology, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Material Handling & Supply Chain Technology today.

Whenever Green and Gov are used together, it usually means squandering vast amounts of money.

Sorry. If you hear any good news about what the govt is up to, let me know.

Jamming up airports, building high speed railways that no one will use and borrowing/printing money for all of it, isn't doing the trick for me.
