You don’t have to buy electric vans to make a difference on the last mile of your organic home delivery service. Here our top three things to do to help our planet when getting your goods to your customers.
- Turn off the air condition - Did you know that your cool air doubles your fuel consumption? Seriously, everybody will understand if you smell a little for saving some gas. Think about making a t-shirt explaining the odor.
- Charge for plastic bags - Charge 5 dollars for every plastic bag, if you don’t get one in return. Accept ripped ones too. You’ll see how that makes those bags come back to you.
- Don’t come back if they are out - Leave your products on their door step, even if nobody’s home.– after all, that’s why you agree to delivery times. Offer lockable crates to avoid next door’s raccoon having a go at your customer’s food.
