The transportation industry, both trucking and railroads, is changing with the economy and with shipping needs. In America, managing director of Nicolaus & Co. John G. Larkin, who has more than twenty years of experience in the transportation and civil engineering industries, was interviewed by the senior editor of DC Velocity, Mark B. Solomon. Larkin was asked about changes in shipping volumes, how carriers can make their changing needs more known to shippers and receivers, and what changes he has seen in the transportation industry, due to the economy as well as simply watching it for nearly three decades.

Because of the downturn in the U.S. economy during recent years, shipping volumes have fluctuated, but have remained relatively steady even during the past four years. Solomon cited one of the large problems not being driver recruitment, but driver retention, the most recent data showing turnover rates as high as 90 percent. Larkin responded that drivers need to be paid more, carriers need to keep trucks on the road more consistently, and that drivers need to get home more frequently. The need of companies to remain under the hours-of-service regulations means that some drivers are being pushed too hard while others are not being put on the road. Consistency is key in this situation and the carriers need to keep trucks rolling on a regular basis, so that both hours-of-service regulations and carrier goals are being fulfilled.

The transportation industry deals with many different specialized teams and operations working together, and it is important to have and maintain a cohesive plan in order to stay inside the law while also getting the maximum productivity out of trucking and railroad commissions. One of the things that the transportation industry must consider is keeping its carbon footprint as small as possible, and that requires some innovative thinking. Eco friendly fuels, fuel treatments, and degreasers are all examples of how this industry can improve its environmental support, as well as its customer base.

Envirosafe Solutions offers high quality, money back guaranteed degreasers, fuel treatments, sanitizers, lubricants and radiator liquids. Call us today to find out more: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.

Recently, flooding shut down the Don Muang airport in Bangkok, Thailand, backing up confused waiting flight passengers who did not know that the airport had been shut down, and continuing a threat which has covered approximately one third of Thailand’s land area. Bangkok holds over nine million people residential neighborhoods bordering the north side of Bangkok are already under water. The panic and distrust in the government’s efforts to keep everyone safe is mounting. This will be a hard blow for both government responsibilities and commercial aviation trading with the Don Muang airport in Thailand.

When flooding continually increases over time, the borders of the floods coming further in each year and lasting longer, then it is the result of two possible causes: the land is becoming fully submerged on a permanent basis, or the land is shifting and achieving buoyancy over a period of twenty or thirty years. The latter is especially probable when large portions of the population and imported weight shift over time on a small island or lightly connected land base. Imported weight is added industrial size materials (and of course, added population) brought into the country.

Another theory ventured by a few forward thinking environmentalists is that flooding and desert conditions exist as part of a stabilizing mechanism performed by nature itself in the global macro eco system. In either scenario, it is necessary to use man’s superior research skills to find ways to have the lifestyles we wish to have and also maintain a balance of our precious eco systems.

It is necessary to be environmentally friendly in every part of our lives, not just normally measured areas. This includes lifestyle choices, such as eco friendly bio fuels, 100% recyclable material, reused wood for construction and design, environmentally friendly cleaning products, and sustainable resources. These lifestyle choices affect both macro eco systems and mass weight redistribution on land.

We do not always believe that we have a measurable effect on the weather or storm conditions or self sufficient shifting in nature. Theories have been posed by research scientists that we may have an impact on nature, and therefore can in some ways control it. Perhaps this is not true. Perhaps we should control what we know we can, and leave nature to fend for herself.

In either circumstance, we know for a fact that we have control over environmentally friendly cleaning products and methods in our homes and businesses. To find out more about how we’re able to help, call us today: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.

Every day, thousands upon thousands of batteries are thrown away because they do not have any other use once they are used up. This may seem like a small number to you, since you probably only throw away batteries only once or twice a month. However, since each person, no matter what their age or social position, tends to go through batteries on a regular basis, it is important to understand the possible repercussions of not recycling them or not having a “next life” for them after they are used up. The company Earth Cell is trying to put an end to this environmental waste and sells their batteries with a prepaid “mailer” in which you can put used batteries until it is all filled up and then mail it back to their company. If the batteries can be recharged, they are and then resold. If not, they are systematically dismantled and recycled to make new batteries from the same company, Earth Cell.

This project is reminiscent of many economical and environmentally friendly ideas which have been tested and used only a slight amount in previous years, and that includes basic recycling practices, which not everyone cares enough about to continue and promote. Granted, our earth is becoming more environmentally aware, but we need to remember that even simple steps such as basic recycling is not that important to some people and that making it easier to sort, practice and use recycling or “upcycling” (where products are refurbished and made into other products, such as turning an old, unusable quilt into pot holders and perhaps even placemats at the dinner table, depending upon the size of the usable material). Let’s face it: we live in a society of immediacy and we are used to getting what we want, when we want it, how we want it. These are reasonable expectations to have during times of high technological innovation, but recycling should take on the Zeitgeist (the spirit of the times) and should be made more readily available for those who wish to employ it. This is why Earth Cell’s prepaid mailer is excellent for eco friendly individuals who would like to give back to the planet.

Envirosafe Solutions also gives back to the planet by offering cleaning liquids, disinfectants, kitchen products and laundry products, all of which are highly effective and completely biodegradable, easy to use and environmentally safe. Call us today: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.

What do you do when a site rich for mining is in the same location as endangered and religious-based eco systems for local wildlife and indigenous tribes? That’s a tough question, one which is faced by First Majestic Silver Corp., a Canadian mining company looking to mine the area of Wixariko, Mexico for rich quantities of silver and gold. This question is neatly balanced between Canadian interests in the mining potential of the lustrous area and the religious, cultural, and monetary interests of the local populace of Wixarika, or the Huicholes as they are best known. Both sides of the issue are complex and in need of further investigation. Sustainable and eco friendly facets are also a consideration, since this area is an endangered ecological system.

First Majestic Silver Corp. has already been granted six thousand hectares, most of which lies within this reserve, for twenty-two mining concession give to them. The mining company would provide jobs for local residents, something which is sorely needed since only a few sources of income are available in the area, including tourism, which would be negatively affected by the mining operations. First Majestic Silver Corp. is offering large concessions to the Wixarika, including seven hundred and sixty one hectares of land set aside for their sacred springs and willingness to completely give up access to Cerro Quemado mountain. An old former mine which was in operation several decades in the past will be reactivated, and as much of the old traditions observed, as possible. Juan Carlos Gonzalez is manager of the Minera Real Bonanza, which is a subsidiary of First Majestic, handling operation on the Real de Catorce project. He emphasizes that he wishes to run a sustainable, eco friendly management of the mining in that area with as little impact to the local people as possible.

The Huicholes have put their foot down, saying that this is non-negotiable. They cite the Mexican President’s promise to protect their cultural and religious areas. Their sacred sites include Wirikuta, a place of regular pilgrimage for the Wixarika, which they believe to be the birthplace of the sun. UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) declared in 1998 that Wirikuta is one of the world’s fourteen natural sacred sites which needed to be protected. The matter is being investigated by James Anaya, the U.N. Special Rapporteur on Indigenous Issues.

“There’s no such thing as a sure thing.” This is often quoted by the cynical and the skeptical, and most people do not go so far as to believe in absolutes, like a guarantee. We are all aware of human nature and the potential for messing up the best laid plans. Some of us are naturally hopeful and some of us are naturally doubtful, but none of us ever really believe in human perfection…at least, not in this life. So can a company be completely environmentally friendly? Can an eco friendly business actually guarantee the economics of their product or service?

The answer is: No. Due to our all-too-apparent human fallibility, no company can make such a guarantee and follow through with perfect exactitude. At Envirosafe Solutions, we offer environmentally safe cleaning solvents and products for your corporate and industrial needs. We have a solid reputation and a long line of satisfied customers. However, we do not claim to be infallible. We do offer a 30-day Money Back Guarantee, though. You must have used less than 1/10^th of the total product and you must write to us with a reason for return within 30 days of the date of sale. We will pay the shipping to send you replacement products, but you must pay the return shipping for unused product, unless it is actually defective.

How is Envirosafe Solutions able to make such a guarantee, when anyone could return our products after using a small portion of them? We are so confident in the effectiveness of our eco friendly Extreme Green cleaning solutions, that we know that you will be a lifelong customer of ours. Alright, alright, we have given you a Money Back Guarantee, but what about our example? Do we actually use our own products in our own business?

You bet. We only use our eco friendly liquid products in our company. You can come by our offices and see for yourself. We are Unit 12 of 3 King Edward Road in Osborne Park, Western Australia. We would love to see you! If you do not fancy a drive to our physical location, give us a call at: (+61) 1300 88 90 70. If you are trying to make your company more eco friendly, the easiest way is to begin using our Extreme Green cleaning products in the care and maintenance of your worksite.

Whether you own a large manufacturing plant or are looking to degrease your home garage, you will need a heavy duty solvent which can clean up petroleum based products, such as diesel, petrol and kerosene, and any type of engine oil, such as transmission oil, hydraulic oil, antifreeze and motor oil. Unfortunately, in the case of large chemical storage, petro solvents can be highly dangerous and corrosive. Transportation could fix this problem by only delivering the solvent when necessary, but this can become expensive and you may need to clean up toxic spills right away. Storage of petro solvents can be both expensive and hazardous, since the caustic chemicals will cause damage to health if spilled. It is recommended to use our eco-friendly Extreme Green Heavy Duty Alkaline Cleaner and Degreaser to solve this problem.

Our heavy duty degreaser is designed to be non-toxic and safe because it lacks dangerous petro solvents or corrosive acids. This makes our products safe to use, easy to store for long periods of time, and if an accident occurs, our cleaner/degreaser will not be hazardous to your employees’ health. On-the-job accidents and chemical spills can cost your company a great deal in liability, but this cleaner willreduce injuries and legal repercussions because it is safe both for the environment and for humans.

Because our Heavy Duty Alkaline Cleaner and Degreaser is water based, it will not leave a film on applied surfaces and will quickly and completely wash off by spraying your floors, walls or equipment down. This makes our degreaser great for oil and petrol workshops, auto repair shops, decorative brick paving, concrete sidewalks and even bathroom areas. Heavy duty machinery will require daily or weekly maintenance, especially in the mining industry, and our eco-friendly solvent will remain safe in closed spaces where clean breathing is vital. You can buy it in a variety of amounts, from single use or test run sizes to bulk liquid amounts. Click here for direct ordering information.

In large manufacturing and distributing companies, it is necessary to store many chemicals for operation onsite and in bulk amount due to daily consumption. Cleaning is necessary to keep expensive equipment and work spaces in good order. Envirosafe Solutions offers a wide variety of cleaning products which are environmentally safe, highly effective and which cut down on the waste produced by your individual organization.

We live in a world in which we are able to get the job done right the first time and there are few exceptions which will justify not doing so. Our chemical products, whether they are toothpaste, dishwashing liquid or drain cleaner, must be up to the task, or the brand itself can lose all credibility overnight. At Envirosafe Solutions, we absolutely must guarantee that our eco friendly products are as effective, if not more so, as petro solvent and dangerously acidic chemicals. Our brand must support this goal or we would go out of business.

At Envirosafe Solutions, our Extreme Green products are designed by specialized scientists who seek to make biodegradable solvents and cleaners which are just as reliable as their toxic alternatives. We offer a 30-day Money Back Guarantee on all of our products if for any reason a product delivered to you is in any way defective. Our heavy duty glass cleaners are great for the hospitality industry, whereas our Graffiti Remover is perfect for cleaning up leftover paint from finished construction sites. Industrial solutions in bulk amounts are ideal for factory maintenance, and our Dust Suppressant is perfect for the agricultural industry.

Whether you use our environmentally safe products in your own household or for daily heavy machinerymaintenance, our cleaning solutions are here to reduce hazardous waste, control bio waste spills, and to continue to help your company be as ‘green’ as possible. Cleaning staff do not have to hold their breath or wear masks while using most of our products and accidental product spillage is not cause for concern. You see, our reputation is at stake, and in business, perception equals reality. If our customers were not happy with our products, then we would not be able to remain in business. Fortunately, our eco friendly solvents, degreasers, glass cleaners and rust removers are just as effective as their non-green counterparts. In this way, you can achieve results, reduce human health hazards, reduce company liability, and safely store our products for long periods of time without worrying about corrosion or dangerous caustics. This is especially helpful in closed spaces where your cleaning staff would otherwise be breathing in toxic fumes.

At Envirosafe Solutions, our testimonials speak for themselves. Large industrial organizations and small private businesses alike recommend our products and feel better handling a safer, biodegradable material. Call us today: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.
