Emergency Preparedness Checklist for Small Businesses

June 1 marks the first day of the 2009 hurricane season.  FedEx provides relief and lifesaving aid to victims of disaster. We work with global nonprofit organizations to assist in relief, recovery and disaster-preparedness planning.  FedEx and American Red Cross collaborated to develop an emergency preparedness checklist for small businesses.

Getting Our Hands Dirty In Boston

What better way could you find to celebrate Earth Day than to spend a beautiful spring day outdoors making a difference at a beloved New England institution? Almost 40 FedEx team members in Boston did just that when they volunteered at the Green Apple Festival Volunteer Action at the Stone Zoo in Stoneham, MA on April 17.

Two years ago, I never would have considered myself an environmentalist. I took long showers, threw most everything in the trash and found fuel efficiency to be secondary to speed. Now I haven't given up red meet or bought a Terra Pass, but I do make a more conscious effort to be good to my planet. Since I have moved to New York City, I ride public transit almost 95% of the time, recycle half of my trash and have shortened my showers. All small steps to lessen my impact. But, is there more I can do?

FedEx Celebrates Teach for America Week

During the last week of February, FedEx team members visited schools all around the country in support of Teach for America.  FedEx recognizes the great work the organization does to put young leaders into the nation's schools to strengthen education in our country. I had the unique opportunity to visit Kingsbury High School right here in Memphis.  This is my account.  I would also encourage you to read what my FedEx colleagues and other had to say about their Teach for America experience.
