A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

MEMORIALIZING CONGRESS TO TAKE THE APPROPRIATE STEPS TO PROHIBIT THE MAILING AT REDUCED OR BULK POSTAL RATES OF ANY MATERIAL THAT IS NOT RECYCLABLE.

Whereas, a strong emphasis in recent years has been placed on recycling all sorts of materials which Americans as consumers use on a daily basis; and

Whereas, the emphasis on recycling is certainly justified and even essential in this day and age; and

Whereas, it would appear wholly at odds with the spirit of recycling to allow reduced or bulk postal rates to apply to materials which cannot be recycled; and

Whereas, appropriate action by Congress could adequately remedy this problem by ensuring that the practice of allowing reduced or bulk postal rates for nonrecyclable material is prohibited. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, memorializes Congress to take the appropriate steps to prohibit the mailing at reduced or bulk postal rates of any material that is not recyclable.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the Postmaster General, and all eight members of South Carolina's Congressional Delegation, at Washington, D.C.
