Q. | How does your service provide a greener future for the environment? |
A. | By having one vehicle carry multiple orders from the store to customers we are eliminating all those individual customers from having to start their cars and making a return trip to a store. This is reducing green house gas emissions, traffic, and gas consumption. |
