Replacing your traditional fax machine with an Internet Fax service can make a difference:
Reduce paper use In the US, annual office paper consumption is enough to build a 10-foot-high wall that’s 6,815 miles long. That’s more than the distance from New York to Tokyo.
Save water Producing one ton of paper (200 000 sheets) requires 20312 gallons (76889 litres) of water. Not Much? In the UK alone, 12.5 million tons of paper was consumed in 2005.
Preserve forests If 1% of all paper faxes sent in America each year were sent electronically, 73.5 million trees would be saved.
Save energy ENERGY STAR, a program of the US Environmental Agency states a fax machine consumes more electricity than any other office equipment.
Cleaner planet Reducing paper use by 10% in the US alone would prevent the emission of 1.6 million tons of greenhouse gases -- the equivalent of taking 280,000 cars off the road.
