How are Finland’s mail carriers fighting the decline of the physical mail industry?

Answer: by cutting grass

Finland’s mail service, Posti, will soon have its mail carriers rip-starting lawn mowers. Starting at about 72 dollars a month, mail recipients can hire postal carriers to mow their lawns every Tuesday, the slowest day of the week for mail in Finland. Customers are required to supply the mower.

If successful, Posti plans to expand into other home services, such as a partnership with South Karelia Social and Health Care District Eksote, which would assist citizens with healthy eating habits and household chores.
