The Postal Service reported a 9.9 percent decrease, or 1.3 million metric tons, in greenhouse gas (GHG) emis- sions since 2008—nearly equivalent to removing 270,000 passenger vehicles from the road for a year. The goal is to reduce GHG emissions by 20 per- cent by fiscal year 2020. In addition, the Postal Service decreased facility energy use by 34 percent since 2003, achieving the goal of a 30 percent reduction by 2015. “The Postal Service continues to make sustainability progress that is not only the right thing to do for the environment, but is right for our busi- ness,” said Chief Sustainability Officer “The Postal Service continues to make sustainability progress Thomas G.

A double thick number to make up for the loss of the Septem- ber issue of the magazine. Due to my emigration to Australia I was not able to get the September number fin- ished on time. This means that this year not 6 but 5 issues of the Netherlands Philatelist will be in your mail- box, of which one is a double thick number. For most members, the dark cold days are in front of them and they probably won‟t mind the extra reading material. I have arrived safely in South Australia in the Adelaide region and started slowly to settle into the Aussie life style. The last few months a lot of things have happened to me as editor and for the ASNP club itself. Unfor- tunately we have lost two well-known members, George Vandenberg and Erik Roos. In this magazine you will find more information about them. I hope you will enjoy reading the new magazine and remember, if you have an article for us or want to write one let me know, as I‟ll be happy to publish it!

  • Reginald Yung Grade 11R Personal Project Inquiry Analysis Report
    Reginald Yung Grade 11R Personal Project Inquiry Analysis Report Topic : Understanding and Respecting Other Countries’ Personal Culture and Story Global Context : Identities and Relationships LINKING TO REAL LIFE SCENARIO In this modern technological society, everyone craves to travel aboard and explore the land beyond. The hypnotic fascination of flying above skies in a plane is indeed mesmerizing. Though so, not everyone can afford the expensive plane tickets. This somewhat abjured dream is not easily comprehended and the only way to overcome this dreaded obstacles is by postcards. When you see the picturesque scenario on the back of the postcard from your ideal city it is liken a dream come true. You would be able to have the sender to describe to you all of the places and also a little about themselves too. It is indeed as priceless as the Mona Lisa if you know how to appreciate such a precious postcard. Without belabouring the point, postcards are a beautiful and simple way to contain our thoughts and memories. Traditionally they have been used to create and preserve a snapshot of a favourite holiday or special moment in our lives. Postcards contain our handwriting, our voices and the story we choose to share long after we are gone. I believe that it is the small things that we do every day, either at home or on a trip, that remind us that we are of value and have something to say. (Mikrut) “Postcards seem to tell a story of another place, a temporary place, one we may not have been to before, where maybe we don’t live, or a place we want to share with another.
