Although the ongoing saga of the embattled U.S. Postal Service is well documented by our friend Mr. Tree (if that is his name), at the very least the USPS is reducing its environmental footprint, and saving money at the same time. Says Environmental Leader: The US Postal Service says it saved more than $52 million in 2012 by reducing energy, water, consumables, petroleum fuel use and solid waste to landfills, and generated nearly $24 million in revenue by recycling. The agency uses employee-based “green teams” to identify ways of reducing material consumption, boosting recycling, avoiding landfill fees, cutting vehicle emissions, and other “no-cost or low-cost” sustainability actions.
