Awards
Postmaster Ralph Kaiser, Carpentersville, Illinois proudly displays all
4 of the USPS Globe Awards - crystal, ebony, sapphire and emerald.
Ralph and his post office team earned all these awards. Each level of
USPS Globe Award takes more work than the one before. To gain the fourth
Globe - the Emerald - a Post Office has to reduce, reuse, recycle - and
have a school or community outreach environmental education program, as
well as other related initiatives.
Of the 3000 Post Offices in Illinois, Indiana and Michigan, 75 have earned
all four globe awards! This is a great accomplishment, and their work
is helping to protect our environment.
As
well as having our own awards program to encourage positive environmental
action, the USPS has also won many of awards from other organizations.
These include dozens of awards from the White House, many industry awards,
and hundreds of state and local environmental awards.
This shows the good work we are doing to help the environment.
