  post office?

  I'd actually like to hear more about the efficiency of the Post Office deliveries.
  At first, I thought, yea, they should definitely invest in alternative fuel vehicles(those little cars they drive around could easily be golf carts, right?). On the other hand, they have a pretty well planned out route, they walk a lot, they deliver multiple things at once...seems to me to be a pretty well oiled machine. I doubt anyone's regular daily errands are as efficient as the post office deliveries. On Umbra on corporate holiday cards posted 2 years ago 6 Responses

  there's nothing inherently evil about xmas lights

  I don't think sustainability is about sacrifice. If you enjoy christmas lights (it's a tradition to put them up with your family, everyone in your neighborhood participates, it makes you smile and reminds you of all the spirit and peace on earth stuff) then go right ahead! If we keep asking people to make sacrifices, they'll run the other way, credit card in hand.  
  I say go for the solar powered christmas lights or invest in the LED's and forgo the usual gifts this year (because honestly, do you really need more stuff?) and ask everyone to pitch in for your shiny new PV system for christmas. You'll have to come up with most of the money yourself, but if everyone in your family payed for a portion of it (a few kw perhaps?) you'd have a special gift that keeps on giving year after year.
