Description:

In this episode, we take a different approach as we look at four impactful supply chain articles and connect them to the big news in Canada that has the significant impact on the logistics industry: The Canadian government signing the Paris climate change agreement and the new carbon tax policy. We also sing the blues as Karl and Reg's NFL teams are part of the sad 1-3 club in the NFL. 

 

Featured article: 

We discuss how these four articles and show the connection of each to the impacts of the new climate change agreement impacts supply chains:

By offering their own logistics delivery, Amazon can be leaders in cutting carbon footprints by decreasing reliance on 3rd party delivery services. It's also interesting to see Amazon become a 3rd party delivery service.
