Earth Share Joins Green Express

Earth Share of Georiga is a dedicated environmental fund partners with businesses and employees to support 61 leading environmental groups through workplace giving campaigns, Earth Day and other activities. The group recently joined forces with Green Express, the first courier in the country to switch to hybrid cars. For every new account that mentions Earth Share of Georgia, Green Express will donate one dollar to Earth Share of Georgia on each delivery.
Jay Holgate, managing partner of Green Express courier knew it was time for a change when gas hit $3 a gallon last year. "Affordable gas is the lifeblood of any courier company," Holgate explains. "With gas prices at an all-time high, our hybrids are delivering significant savings." Every time a courier is used, that's one less car on Atlanta's roads. And now through Green Express, people will support Earth Share of Georgia. Green Express estimates the hybrid cars use 46 percent less gas than traditional cars. Their drivers travel at least 2,500 miles every day delivering packages throughout metro Atlanta in 16 counties. Green Express hybrids average 47 miles per gallon, while their traditional cars get just 25 miles per gallon.
