Excessive carbon emissions are generated through the process of transporting paper waste back and forth. The project speculated on ways in which new programs could expand the United States Postal Service and transform its mission to reduce emissions, in response to the current policy of the USPS.

By proposing waste collection and distribution systems and incorporating recycling and packaging programs in correspondence to the current Post Office Network System, in hopes that all future post offices in Manhattan would be able to recycle all of its own paper recyclables. The project hopes to transform the USPS services and role for the zip code, as well as for City, State and Federal programs; possessing a new architecture in every sense of the term.
