With the 16 Go Green stamps, the Postal Service celebrates its green leadership and raises awareness of easy low-cost and no-cost actions everyone can take to improve the environment. Go Green stamps are Forever stamps, always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail price. They will be available in South Florida Post Offices on April 14. Many of the tips offered on these stamps — turning out lights when leaving a room or riding a bike instead of driving — are things we may be doing already. Others, like composting, may require more of a commitment.
No matter what we choose to do, it’s amazing how taking small steps such as the ones depicted in the stamps can add up to big savings in energy, resources and costs.
The Postal Service is doing its part by providing more than 27 billion Cradle to Cradle Certified mailing and shipping materials, stamps and stamp products, which meet established standards for human and environmental health and recyclability.
The 16 stamps depict the following: 1. Buy local produce, reuse bags. 2. Fix water leaks. 3. Share rides. 4. Turn off lights not in use. 5. Choose to walk. 6. GO GREEN — reduce our environmental footprint step by step. 7. Compost. 8. Let nature do the work. 9. Recycle more. 10. Ride a bike. 11. Plant trees. 12. Insulate the home. 13. Use public transportation. 14. Use efficient light bulbs. 15. Adjust the thermostat. 16. Maintain tire pressure.
