Welcome to our paperless office!
Our office strives daily to operate as greenly as possible. Here are just a few reasons why we have minimized our paper use.
42% of the industrial wood harvest is used to make paper.
Paper accounts for 25% of landfill waste (and one third of municipal landfill waste).
28% of paper produced is copy or print paper, which is reponsibe for 20 million metric tons of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere
If the United States cut office paper use by just 10% it would prevent the emission of 1.6 million tons of greenhouse gases — the equivalent of taking 280,000 cars off the road.
The pulp and paper industry is the third largest contributor to global emmisions, which does not include the emissions from the logging process or shipping of the final product.
We use recycled paper. According to
RecycleWorks.org
, “20 cases of 100% recycled paper saves 17 trees, 390 gallons of oil, 7,000 gallons of water and 4,100 kwh of energy … [and] also eliminates 60 pounds of air-polluting emissions and saves eight cubic feet of landfill space.”
