Wasting Paper and Feeling Guilty Is Not Fun

It's quite possible that certain parts of the current green movement are a scam. Buying "carbon credits," for example, seems dubiuos when the people selling the idea are the people selling the credits.

Wasting paper, however, does in fact kill trees. And trees do in fact help the earth flourish and human beings with it. In that sense, document imaging has a moral component.

There is nothing less fun, as a halfway concerned citizen, than watching whole stacks of paper just sit there and symbolize dead trees.

And then knowing that more and more trees must be felled in order to feed the beast.

Document imaging enables individuals and companies to use less paper and, thus, save trees. It's an especially nice benefit when you consider the other benefits offered by document imaging technology, such as disaster recovery and shareability regardless of geography.

Getting in the habit of doing things digitally rather than on paper can contribute to more trees and a healthier planet for everyone.
