Join our campaign for a paperless future.

Every day we consume endless amounts of paper, all of which we can do without.

Utility bills can be received online, correspondence, bank statements. There is increasingly less and less justification for the paper existence of what is received in the post.

This is even more true of all the printed press.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

(1) Don't buy printed magazines or newspapers, read them online. It is cheaper, and you have more choice of content. Huge amounts of paper are used every day by the printed presses. It is the way of the past. Thankfully young people are not buying newspapers anymore. The average person only reads a small fraction of all the articles printed on a newspaper, so most of the paper is wasted. Paper can only be recycled a limited number of times, so the printed press is responsible for depleting our forests!

(2) Get your bills and bank statements online. It is easier to administer, keep track of and it reduces clutter. It makes it easier to pay bills also. No need of a paper shredder either.

(3) Buy e-books. Switch to e-books. They are cheaper than hardcopy books and the more demand there is the greater the number of titles on offer! This is obviously a growth industry at its infancy but it is going to be huge. Buy an e-reader. The current models (Sony and Kindle-2 - the latter only available in the US at the moment) store a few hundred titles at any given time.

(4) Don't print emails. If you need to keep an email to deal with later and you're afraid it will get lost in a sea of emails in your inbox, why not copy it to a "to-do" folder or paste it in a WORD document to deal with separately. If you need to share it with someone, forward it to them by email.

We are embracing the e-reader revolution with open arms. In association with Amazon.co.uk, you can purchase the Sony Reader by clicking on the link below. 

Carbonica will plant a tree for every purchase. How cool is that.

THE FUTURE IS PAPERLESS!
