What do we know about a mailbox?

A USPS mailbox is not some innovative technology; it is an indicator of our habitable clusters with a concentrated population.

“Zip Code” is a 5-digits number developed by the United States Postal Service to represent individual post offices across the United States. Zip code is a way to describe our geographic locations. They function similarly to GPS coordinates or the longitude and latitude on a map. By entering the numbers, we would be able to locate where it is. Currently, there are about 41,000 plus zip codes to represent our habitable geographic locations.

Why having a mailbox is sustainable?

No sustainable credits are about installing a collection mailbox. Still, it is encouraged for projects to develop within existing cities, suburbs, and towns to reduce environmental and public health pressure as the consequences of sprawl. There are significant economic benefits to locate a development project close to basic services, such as a post office. Having a nearby mailbox implies there is a local post office serving in the area.
