Postal Rankings and the Happiness Index

Canadian member Liz sent over a nice note about this CBC radio program Spark. She thought our members would be curious to learn about "what mail can show us about economic growth." Turns out, the postal patterns of a country directly relate to the "Happiness Index" of that country. You can listen to the program here. It is part of a larger story about communication which is pretty fascinating, but if you'd like to skip to the mail-related portion of the show, go to time mark 37:20. Liz says she hopes the story inspires L.W.A. members to start pen pal relationship with people residing in countries with a lower "postal partners ranking" to help increase the world's Happiness Index. That's a great idea, Liz. Thanks for sharing!
