UPS Store Now Offers Carbon Neutral Shipping
The UPS Store® at Carrboro Plaza now offers its customers the option to neutralize the climate impact of their packages when shipping with UPS. When customers select the carbon neutral option, UPS calculates the carbon emissions associated with their shipments and then purchases and retires carbon offsets to mitigate the effects. In October 2009, UPS became the first small package carrier in the U.S. to offer shippers the option of paying a fee to offset the climate impact of their shipments. For the full story, click here.
