In these environmentally conscious times it is important to recognise the reduction in carbon footprint that these companies are already achieving. The DfT estimate that in the UK we use 10 billion litres of fuel moving 2001 billion tonnes of goods which produces 26 billion Kg of Carbon. We can all do our bit to reduce this CO2 emission.
