It’s not easy being green, or is it?

We would all like to be green as long as we don’t have to change anything big in our life. The solution is to start with small steps to minimise the way you impact on our natural resources but work on making life easier for yourself at the same time.

Many people talk about it, most people understand it and a lot of people want to do something about it.

Yes indeed, we sit around discussing it while eating dinner out of our plastic take-away boxes, watching a power hungry DVD on a flat screen TV, with the lights on, dishwasher running, washing machine spinning, PC gaming and the kettle boiling.

We would all like to be green as long as we don’t have to change anything big in our life.

The solution is to start with small steps to minimise the way you impact on our natural resources but work on making life easier for yourself at the same time. Consider the office. What office equipment is always on, chews through consumables and requires a telephone line?

The fax.

Why pick on the fax? Because there are better, more environmentally friendly solutions available now. You can avoid paper, power and toner usage, reduce your costs and your carbon footprint simply by taking your fax to an online provider. Send and receive faxes using your email inbox, only print those you really need to.

No installation, no fuss, no worries.

Visit www.utbox.net/greening_australia to see the equivalent power usage and carbon dioxide emissions required to send a fax. For example 5 faxes on a traditional fax machine = running a pool filter for 1 hour or 500g of carbon dioxide.

Moving toward a greener office is something all individuals and organisations will need to consider to sustain our environment. Taking your fax to an online service provider is one way to start.

Don’t believe us? Look at the Government Guidelines on a Green Office and green office equipment, online faxing wins every time.

So take the easy option; remove costly un-eco-friendly technology. You get the benefits, and so does the environment. UTBox even donate some money to Greening Australia for every fax you send using their service to help cover the costs of planting trees.
