Eco-Friendly
Faxing
Save Paper. Save
Trees. Save the Planet.
Our
Forests Are Shrinking
Trees have
a positive affect on the earth
and on our quality of life, but
man's voracious appetite for
paper, wood and farmland is
destroying our forests at an
alarming rate. Even though
forests are managed here in the
U.S., that's not the case in
tropical areas where forest loss
is substantial every year.
And, with mankind's "throw it
away" mentality, most of our
paper ends up in landfills or
incinerators, adversely
affecting the environment even
further.
How We Can
Help
Small
actions from each of us can help
protect our fragile global
environment. The first thing we
can do is
use less paper.
In an office setting, share and
distribute documents via
electronic means instead of
printing them. When paper
documents are no longer needed,
don't throw them away.
Recycle
whenever possible. Paper is one
of the easiest materials to
recycle, and collection centers
are common. If you really
want to make the planet a little
greener,
plant a tree.
The trees we plant today can
live hundreds of years and
affect many generations of
people while improving the
environment we all share.
Fax
Michigan's
"fax
to email" service is an
environmentally friendly way to
receive your faxes.
Instead of receiving printed
documents on a fax machine,
receive them electronically as
email attachments. Then you can
read them, save them and forward
them without using paper.
Save paper, save trees, save
the planet . . . one fax at a
time.
