Environmental Ethos
Let's face it, the "transportation" industry doesn't exactly evoke images of lush forests and clear skies (like our website), but that's exactly why Drive Current is a different kind of company. We are extremely committed to having a positive impact on the environment and truly doing everything in our power to make a difference. Our environmental aspirations extend far beyond the commitments we've made below. Disclaimer - Not all of the following will be in effect until 2008.

1% For The Planet
1% For The Planet is an alliance of businesses committed to leveraging their resources to create a healthier planet. Members recognize their responsibility to and dependence on a healthy environment and donate at least 1% of their annual net revenues to environmental organizations worldwide. The alliance aims to prove that taking environmental responsibility is good for business.

Carbon Neutral
We have partnered with Terra Pass to ensure our company is Carbon Neutral with respect to business travel, energy consumed in our offices, and at least 50% of the daily commutes of our employees.

AISO.net
We are proud to be hosted by AISO.net, a trusted name in environmentally friendly web hosting since 1997. AISO owns and operates its own data center and network that is 100% solar powered, not just energy credits like many hosting companies.

San Diego Renewable Energy Society
Our CEO, Joe Steinberger, is on the board of directors for the San Diego Renewable Energy Society, a local chapter of the American Solar Energy Society. You can view his blog at www.drivingtozero.com.

Actions we have taken to directly contribute to the sustainability of our business include:

Conducting an audit of the energy use of our offices (including office equipment, building insulation, and lighting) and making appropriate upgrades
Minimizing our paper transactions and recycling plastic, aluminum, and paper
