The Next Wave of Innovation in Freight | Oren Zaslansky | In the Green

Throughout the US, millions of freight trucks are buzzing goods across state lines, producing massive amounts of greenhouse emissions -- some of them are only half full. Working to make this 400-billion-dollar-a-year supply chain process as efficient and sustainable as possible freight expert Oren Zaslansky digs into the logistics of filling these trucks to their maximum capacity through algorithmic car-pooling (think: ride-sharing your freight) -- bringing with it the potential of a more transparent and eco-friendly global supply chain.

In the Green is a TED series featuring senior leaders from around the business world sharing important lessons about carbon emissions reduction that can be applied to workplaces everywhere. Presented by TED Countdown (https://countdown.ted.com) and The Climate Pledge (https://theclimatepledge.com). Visit https://ted.com/inthegreen for more.
