Go Green with the Paperless Office
More than 50 million tons of paper is wasted each year in the United States and that’s after you account for what actually gets recycled which is a little more than a third. Most of this paper is used making frivolous memos and sending out company-wide announcements when emails would have sufficed and a vast majority of it is used for antiquated filing systems where a hard, physical copy of everything must be documented.
Luckily, services on the internet are starting to wise up and the paperless office is becoming less of an idea and more of a lifestyle; much to the delight of forests everywhere. Now people can store documents online from their desktops and people on the move can hook up through their Mobile Broadband connections to access important documents on data storage sites.
While this doesn’t entirely eliminate the necessity for paper, it certainly helps. People can store their important documents in digital format and access them at any time without having to have a physical copy in hand. Not to mention that most books these days are making the leap to electronic format as well, no longer requiring the need for published paper formats.
