  1. The Commonwealth of Australia
  2. The United States of America
  3. The People's Republic of China
  4. The Republic of India

The global distribution company, DHL, is quoted in one of the textbooks for this subject, as saying that they `wish our planet to remain habitable for generations to come', and that they hope to achieve zero emissions by which year?

  1. 2074
  2. 2050
  3. 2030
  4. 2024

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

2050 is the correct answer.
There is an issue with the dates for many organisational targets. They are far too pessimistic to be genuinely effective in dealing with sustainability issues. Even if you didn't know DHL's target date, you may know that many large companies and governments don't quite feel the urgency of the 'emergency'. There are many opinion-leaders who feel that a sense of urgency needs to be injected.



Which of the following are likely to be significant contributors to environmental damage caused by warehouses?

  1. The location of the warehouse itself
  2. The use of warehouse handling equipment, for example, forklift trucks
  3. Energy consumed by the warehouse building itself
  4. Legislation related to health and safety of employees working in and around the ware-house

Answer(s): A,B,C

Explanation:

It is unlikely that health and safety legislation will itself create meaningful environmental costs.
Probably the opposite.
However, the siting / location of the warehouse itself can be significant: is it near customers / suppli- er thus reducing distances travelled? Do employees need to use vehicles to get to work, or is public transport readily available?
Modern warehouses should be designed in a relatively environmentally-friendly way. For example, well-insulated, using modern materials technology.
And then the materials-handling equipment: again, latest technology can help. A battery-powered forklift creates fewer emissions (potentially including a 'green' power source) than a smoky noisy spluttering old diesel forklift.
