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.
