Not very green, and certainly not very cost effective.
Yes, I make a point of doing all my PO business at our little PO.

However, I think it is their handle at the end of the day that counts.

In the 40's, 50's , 60's CEOs made 30-40% of what the average American made and the economy was good.
Now they make 500-600% of what Americans make. Executive pay keeps rising (23%) even during tough economic times.
Repugs, whose ONLY god is The Wealthy, think that is perfectly sustainable....but think their neighbor, whom they call a "cancer", should be ground down to nothing because paying average Americans a living wage is not sustainable to them.

Again, the Repugs are so stupid and brainwashed by their masters that they cannot see that the middle class is the largest class and when their neighbor loses their job, no matter how much the Repug loves that, it doesn't help their economy....it affects them , too and doesn't help the economy....but they never could think past the latest bumper sticker...

Well, for those who don't like the USPS, it's not like there aren't plenty of "alternatives".... like UPS, DHL, FedEx, etc.!

Not too long ago in the Midwest I had occasion to have some dealings with the HR staff of the local main post office. Surprisingly I discovered that their management team all drove USPS owned BMV sedans. The good times seems to roll on for some members of the post office.

How many times must you be told - the unions no longer represent the middle class - they are sucking the middle class dry (you know, the taxpayers) with their greedy, lavish, outrageous salary, benefits, pensions and overall union contracts.

Who in the private sector, you know, the middle class taxpayer's, have it as good as the public sector unions?

the first class mail should be on top......if it isn't you need to ask your carrier why it isn't...

Really? Wow! My husband was management in the Midwest and he drove a Honda Civic. No such thing! And What's a BMV sedan?
