Canada Post takes advantage of the green grid for mail delivery


In a previous post, I suggested that spud.ca might want to consider electric delivery vehicles. In another post, I proclaimed that, although I love the Tesla Model S, I'm not going to buy one just yet. Sounds contradictory? Not really, because in Vancouver where the above photo was taken, the provincial grid is powered by hydro (no carbon emissions). But the electrical grid in my province is powered mostly by coal and natural gas. So I need to deal with my car by purchasing carbon offsets whether it's powered by gasoline or electricity (coal / natural gas). Kudos to Canada Post for taking advantage of the green electricity in British Columbia.
