The company famous for its brown color scheme is taking a new "green" approach to Christmas.

For the first time UPS is using pedal power to deliver packages on Oahu.

UPS "driver helpers" have gotten out of their trademark brown trucks and onto bicycles to make deliveries at three military installations (Hickam, Schofield, Helemano).

"We're saving money. We're not putting another car on the road to make these deliveries," said UPS Human Services Manager Ben Dorado. "We're not consuming as much fuel. And also we're not having any C02 emissions."

"We like to call it our green routes. It's helping the environment. And also it's helping us getting done what we need to get done," Dorado added.
