General Motor China challenged its parts suppliers to a year-long “Green Supply Chain” to show the benefits of going green. Guess what? They’re pretty immense benefits.
The project saved more than $1.3 million along the supply chain and led to a reduction of 5,500 metric tons of CO2. For some perspective, that’s the equivalent of 142,000 trees sucking up CO2 over 10 years.
“GM China’s Green Supply Chain project provided professional guidance to us for identifying energy conservation opportunities and eventually achieving excellence in energy efficiency,” said David Wang, vice president of CMW (Tianjin) Industry Co. Ltd., one of the eight suppliers.
It’s certainly a start, but GM has a long way to go before it realizes its goal of being a completely green company. GM recently set a mandate to be powered completely by renewable energy by the year 2050.

The Obama Admin has pushed a lie saying how electric and even hybrid vehicles are ‘green’; but truth be known that electric and hybrid vehicles are as dirty as a VW TDI engine because the power plants needed to generate electricity to recharge the batteries of electric and hybrid vehicles consume fossil fuels or that the fact that the Obama Admin has done nothing to improve the US power grid to support more electric and hybrid vehicles as we can look forward to possible rolling brown outs of a decade ago because we don’t have the electricity capacity to power a million EV or hybrid vehicles.
Electric vehicles should have a carbon emissions sticker as it would be a calculation as to amount of greenhouse gas generated by a fossil fuel power plant to recharge an EV to travel 12,000 miles in one year. Even hydrogen fuel cell vehicles will be stuck with a greenhouse gas sticker especially since liquid hydrogen does not exist in nature and requires electricity to create; thus, hydrogen fuel cell cars will need a sticker showing how much greenhouse gas was generated by a fossil fuel burning power plant to create the hydrogen used by a fuel cell car to travel 12,000 miles.
