Will Be Speaking at Ceremony in Washington DC on Thursday

January 16, 2008

Today, in Denver, and in major cities across the country, Safeway Inc. announced that it has converted its entire U.S. trucking fleet to clean burning biodiesel. Governor Bill Ritter and Senator Ken Salazar helped fuel the first biodiesel truck at the Safeway distribution center. Tomorrow, Rep. Ed Perlmutter will speak at a similar event in Washington DC.

"I would like to congratulate Safeway on transferring its entire U.S. trucking fleet to biodiesel. Having environmental leaders such as Governor Ritter and Senator Salazar at the Denver event is evidence of how big a commitment Safeway is making. Promoting renewable energy is good for national security, good for the climate and good for jobs. I look forward to speaking at the event on Thursday in Washington DC and learning even more about Safeway’s green practices," stated Perlmutter.
