The green logistics represents also three perspectives: public (public to private), operational (operational to strategic) and local (local to global). The first perspective of green logistics relates to pressure groups which began to lobby government intervention to mitigate the damaging effects of freight movement and public agencies sought to improve their understanding of the problem and find means of addressing it. The public sector interest in this subject has been complemented by a growth in the private sector involvement in green logistics research as business has begun to formulate environmental strategies both at a corporate level and more specifically for logistics. Operational to strategic as a second general trend has been a broadening of the corporate commitment to green logistics, from the adoption of a few minor operational changes to the embedding of environmental principles in strategic planning. Local to global perspective is focused on the local environmental impact of air pollution, vibration, noise, accidents and visual intrusion. With climate change now the dominant environmental issue of the age, the impact of logistics on global atmospheric conditions has become a major focus of many researchers (McKinnon A., Browne & Whiteing, 2010).
