You may not know this but the U.S. alone consumes enough office paper to build a wall 10 feet high and 6,815 miles long. With the recent trend of “going green” becoming more popular, many businesses are jumping on the wagon. Not only is this change warranted, it is needed. There are many large corporations as well as small businesses that are lending their skills to this need. Many companies such as Microsoft’s Sharepoint tool are offering ways to cut back on paper consumption. They are able to do this by offering ways to make “paper work” all electronic. Not only does this process help the environment but it also increases security, and revenue. Sharepoint helps your company to control the publishing of documents, routing, and commerce. This process is done by converting these documents into e-files. Doing this greatly reduces the cost of printing, which in turn helps the environment. These statistics will put things in perspective. According to conservatree, one tree makes 16.67 reams of copy paper or 8,333.3 sheets. One ream (500 sheets) uses up 6% of tree.
Paper isn’t the only area in which companies, and individuals are doing their part to go green. Many companies are offering recycled materials to do their part in helping the cause. New technologies are always on the rise to help improve this effort. Here at shoplet.com we are doing our part in going green by offering our “Green Your Office Tool”.
