When it comes to pollution people are more
concerned with cars and factories than the innocent little fax machine sitting
in the corner of their homes or offices. Switching from traditional faxing
methods to a more environmentally friendly faxing method i.e. online faxing is something they won’t even consider. Research
has shown that one fax machine left in a standby mode for 24 hours is capable
of emitting 200kg of potentially fatal CO2 per day and not only that
on average close to 2 billion empty printer cartridges will be dumped on
landfill site across the country. These empty cartridges leak harmful chemicals
into the earth long after the landfills have been cleared the effects still
remain.
With fax to email
there is no need to leave your electronics on standby mode as the fax is
delivered directly into your email’s inbox this in turn may be retrieved from
your laptop or cell phone and because a page is not printed automatically you
will save money on paper as well as ink and toner cartridges.
Making a small change like switching to fax 2 email today could provide the youth with a
better future tomorrow, we need to stop waiting for someone else to come and
help us especially when the power to make a difference lies squarely in our
hands.
