To the editor,
In Nanaimo Canada Post has reveal 14 electric cargo vans for its transition
to electrify its whole fleet.
In 2022 Canada Post set aside more than $1 billion to cut emissions and to full electric.
Articles by several news media and the Weather Network about this transition also
point out other organizations that are going electric.
In BC 38 per cent of our emissions come from transportation so going full electric will reduce those emissions and reduce the related air-pollution and reduce health care costs for us all.
But when will we see going our local post office going fully electric?
Additionally, flat roofs, like our post office and most commercial buildings, are perfect for the installation of solar power, especially since those buildings use the most power during the days.
