Now, the shipping industry appears to be making some subtle progress. In recent months, three of the biggest delivery companiesFedEx, UPS, and DHL have released environmental data that show their overall emissions of global warming gases are declining slightly. This is particularly notable at FedEx and UPS, where a slight dip in emissions has come amid overall business growth.
