Use Free fax to email to save on paper, toner, and your carbon footprint

Paper is one of the most greenhouse gas intensive products we use on a daily basis

Although some manufacturers claim that there is carbon neutral paper, the fact remains that paper uses an incredible amount of carbon fuels to process the tress into paper, including the use of electricity, and fuel is used to transport the paper.

Chemicals are also used in the manufacturing of the paper, another product that is greenhouse gas intensive.

Making paper uses large amounts of biomass, which ends up in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. Fair enough, trees may grow again, but this depletion of the biomass in forests still affects the environment in the short term because old healthy trees in a forest produces more Oxygen than new younger ones replacing them.

Lastly, most of the paper that we use land up in landfills, producing methane gas, a greenhouse gas.

Solutions to reducing paper usage

- Recycle paper whenever possible - we do this at our office

- Don't print unless you really need to

- Using our Free Fax To Email service reduces the need to print, and this helps reduce your carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emission.
