  • One ton (40 cases) of office paper not used saves 24 trees, 380 gal of oil, 7,000 gal of water, and 4,100 KW hrs of electricity.
  • That's enough energy to power the average home for nearly 6 months and enough oil to make 252 gallons of automobile gasoline.

Prevent Deforestation

  • 17 Million trees are cut down every year in order to supply fax paper for the US as a whole.
  • That's 4 trees for the average US company cut down in order to meet their faxing needs.

Cleaner Landfills

  • Paper takes up 26% of landfills. Landfills are the single largest source of methane releases in the US.
  • With paper contributing to over a quarter of greenhouse gases released by landfills you can see the positive effect reducing paper usage and deforestation would have on our atmosphere.

Healthier Planet
