What have been some of your biggest challenges about going green?
eeko Couriers faces many obstacles to be green as the transportation industry is one of the largest contributors for greenhouse emissions. We have not had many obstacles thus far as we are still a small to mid size organization. We will be tested as we grow our operations and our challenge will be to continue to strive to be a leader when it comes to our environmental conscious operations and initiatives.
