We’re painting Canada green
Whether it’s a pollution absorbing car cover or bringing back our iconic bus in an All-Electric version, we’re always trying to look at the world through a more sustainable lens. That’s why we’ve commissioned a unique series of murals across the country that use carbon-eating paint. Going green has never looked this vibrant.
Going big
Covering a combined surface area of approximately 5,650 square feet - that’s larger than an NBA size basketball court - across Edmonton and Toronto, these murals will be unmissable in size, scale and environmental ambition.
Yeah, we did just casually say carbon-eating paint
It’s a thing. The secret ingredient is lime paste, which helps this graphene paint absorb CO2 to improve air quality, as well as limiting pathogens. The paint works to absorb pollution for as long 10 years after being applied.
Three original visions from three unique muralists
Artist: Jordoh/Graffiti Salad
Location: Edmonton
Jordan Ernst grew up in Saskatoon, SK and took to graffiti when he was just 10 years old after discovering how creating his artist identity felt like an escape from getting bullied at school.
Through art, Jordan was able to pick himself up and find positivity in the world around him, eventually settling in Edmonton and starting a family.
Jordan now works as a full-time artist doing murals, graffiti, and canvas work under the moniker of Jordoh/Graffiti Salad.
Jordan specializes in large scale productions, particularly excelling in faces, characters, and vehicles.

Artist: Murals By Marg
Location: Toronto
The work of Margaret Cresswell AKA Murals by Marg is marked by her talent for transforming unassuming city walls into surreal portals of serene and dreamlike natural scenery. Her mural in the heart of Toronto’s bustling Queen St West will create the illusion of an All-Electric ID. Buzz driving through the wall from an airy and vibrant mountain scene.

Artist: Reliable Rons
Location: Toronto
Toronto based artist Ronaldo’s work can be found across the city, adorning the facades of landmark restaurants such as Piano Piano and Sassafrazz. His mural design blends the urban and the rural, perfectly encapsulating the spirit of the All-Electric ID. Buzz.

Giving a green boost to the BUMP festival
We’ve committed to donate $15,000 worth of carbon-eating paint to Calgary’s community led street art festival BUMP. The paint will be put to use on a 2500 square foot mural that will work to absorb local pollution over the next 5-years.
Keep thinking green
More and more, we’re seeing sustainable alternatives emerge to help make our everyday lives a little greener. Whether it’s switching to an electric vehicle, exploring the applications of pollution-eating paint, or even just ensuring you’re using a biodegradable compost bag, anything that helps make your habits more sustainable is a great start.
