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 () and The Climate Pledge (). Visit for more. Countdown is TED’s global initiative to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis.
