This paper investigates the impact of green supply chain management on industry, consumer perception and environment. Through research into multiple companies and case studies, a distorted perception among large corporations shows a historic struggle to find a balance between profit and sustainability. However, the potential long-term effects of the lack of environmental courtesy cannot be undone and therefore must be carefully engineered. Multi-billion dollar automotive corporations such as Hyundai

manufacturers to alter the inner workings of automobiles, thus creating the greener alternatives like hybrids and electric cars. As of now, green machines are impacting the way our country travels across America. I know that car makers are producing more electric and hybrids cars than ever. I had the opportunity to experience the popularized hybrid in action. About 5 years ago, my father purchased a Nissan Altima hybrid as gas prices were soaring higher than ever.
