**What is Sustainablog?**

Yes, I was always aware of it, I didn’t realize its’ presence.   J McIntire-Strasburg,
the sustainablog.

_Since July 2003, [sustainablog](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/02/one-great-review-of-green-lighting-by-sustainablog/)
has been providing information on environmental and economic sustainability, green
and sustainable business, and environmental politics. The blog regularly features
environmental leaders, experts in alternative energy and green technology, and real
people trying to lighten their environmental footprints._

While the article talks about the first electric car delivery to a customer is the
inaguration of their electric vehicle campaign.  Thanks to J over at [Sustainablog](https://greenlivingguy.com/2023/01/evnoires-role-in-the-u-s-a-blueprint-for-ev-transportation/)
for letting me write for his site.

As stated about the LEAF:

“Electricity is the new fuel for cars, and the Nissan LEAF has the potential to 
transform the automotive industry and the way people drive,” said Carlos Tavares,
Chairman, Nissan Americas. “Starting today, drivers have the freedom to choose a
future that produces zero tailpipe emissions, moves away from our dependence on 
fossil fuels, and represents the end of trips to the gas station. This Nissan LEAF
delivery is the first of thousands and signifies the dawn of a movement that brings
sustainable mobility to within our grasp.”

“San Francisco is committed to make the Bay Area the top EV market in America, and
the fact that San Francisco is the number one market in the nation for Nissan LEAF
ownership reservations is proof we’re on our way,” said San Francisco Mayor Gavin
Newsom. “We are proud that Bay Area resident is the very first owner of a LEAF, 
anywhere in the world. We congratulate Olivier Chalouhi and the thousands of other
Bay Area residents who soon will be driving electric cars, leading the way to climate
friendly transportation.”
