The world is at your fingertips. But behind each delivery that
arrives at your door or at your store is a complex chain of events
- and a growing cloud of pollution.
It shouldn't be on you to track the impact of every step
your package took on its route to you. There are already existing
technologies and tactics that companies can put into place to
drastically slash pollution from the last mile of delivery.
We're setting up meetings with industry leaders to make these
changes - but first, we need your help to prove American
consumers are calling for action.

Cyber Monday is just one week away - but the sales have already
started. In the flurry of orders, a single product might get
transported across seas, driven cross-country, and sent to a
distribution center.
Once an order is placed, it gets sent to the final destination,
entering the "last mile" delivery stage. This is the sweet
spot where we can make the most improvements.
Medium- and heavy-duty vehicles - like large delivery trucks,
port vehicles and buses - are projected to rival passenger
vehicles as the largest source of transportation greenhouse gases by
2050. Businesses need to take action to tackle this problem before
it's too late. And there are 3 easy steps they can take:
1) Advocate for and adopt zero-emission vehicles.
2) Provide incentives for slower shipping options over overnight or
expedited delivery.
3) Create local options for pickup and returns of online orders.
But in order for businesses to make these crucial changes, they need
to know consumers - like you - are demanding it.
Take action today and join the movement calling on businesses to clean
up delivery!
