Here at Green Paper Company, we're lovin' the new Forever stamp by the US Postal Service!
Issued just in time for Earth Day 2011, the Go Green (Forever®) stamps illustrate that small steps—from fixing a leak to planting a tree—can have a big impact on our environment. Here's what else they say about their new stamp release:
"Big environment. Big issues. 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®) 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, 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.

Another great way to save on excess- Forever stamps hold their value. These Forever stamps are always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce rate. Less stamps=less waste. We especially love how they look with our envelopes- so next time it calls for snail mail- green stamps are the perfect accessory!
