Little you. If you feel as if there's not much one person can do to make
a positive impact on the environment-just take a look at these Go Green
(Forever(r)) stamps. They illustrate simple things we each can do every
day. With only a few small changes to the way we live.

Out of milk? Walk or bike to the store. Repair that drippy faucet-the
noise was driving you crazy, anyway. Switch to energy-efficient light
bulbs. Put on a sweater instead of turning up the thermostat. Sun dry
your sheets-they'll smell wonderful!

Is it enough to make a difference? Absolutely. Recycling just one
aluminum can reduces waste-and saves enough energy to run a computer for
three hours. Multiply that by 10-or 200-cans. Simple insulation like
caulking or weatherstripping pays for itself with reduced utility bills
within one year. Properly inflating your car tires improves gas mileage
by as much as three percent. You're not just saving the environment,
you're saving-period. Suddenly small steps seem pretty big.

Best of all, once you've started thinking-and acting-green, you'll feel
proud that you've been part of a big change. "Home" just got greener.
Thanks to you.

Go Green, a pane of 16 stamps (#467040; $7.04), is the Postal Service's
social awareness issue for 2011. Award-winning animator, filmmaker, and
illustrator Eli Noyes worked with Art Director Derry Noyes on his first
stamp project, using a colorful, playful style to convey the message
that every American can take simple actions to conserve energy and
improve the environment. These Forever stamps are always equal in value
to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce rate.

Made in the USA.
