Hundreds of dollars inExpress/Mail Services which create CO2 emissions using ground and air transportation

OR


Hours in copier and faxprocesses which use paper, chemical toner, electricityand people’s time... Generating even more paper!


Every year, more than 1.1 billion trees are cut down in order to satisfy the needs of office workers around the world.


The world’s paper consumption exceeds 350 million metric tons per year… which results in over 80 million metric tons of carbon dioxide per year from the the pulp and paper industry.

This does not include the emissions from the logging industry, the shipping industry, or simply the consumer’s car to purchase paper at the store.


Over the last fifteen years, paper consumption has increased 3% per year, due to the increased accessibility of printers.

40% of all landfill is comprised of paper.GreenRoads™ Realty

The pulp and paper industry represents 10% of all global greenhouse gas emissions

and uses more water than any other industry.


Each ream of paper not printed reduces carbon dioxide levels by 18.5 pounds.


Each GreenRoads Realty paperless transaction reduces carbon dioxide levels from paper production alone by approximately 92.5 pounds.
