Going Green with Internet Fax
Going Green with Internet Fax
Copyright © 2008 Titus Hoskins
Unless you're already living a mile underground, you will
have probably noticed our planet is in trouble. Serious
trouble.
With global warming, climate change, melting polar ice
caps, severe weather conditions... the truth, convenient
or otherwise, is as evident as your next weather forecast.
And the outlook is not looking too bright for this planet
and everyone living on it.
As different countries struggle to get their act together
to help solve this very serious problem, environmentally
savvy individuals and companies are doing their part to
ease this crisis. For even small changes in individual
behavior or actions can add up to a big difference,
especially as greater numbers of people take the whole
issue of climate change more seriously.
One such area of action is Internet fax. It has proven
to be an environmentally friendly way of faxing, mainly
because Internet or online faxing is paperless. Just as
email has saved valuable resources, so too does Internet
fax.
According to Energy Star, a U.S. environmental protection
agency, copiers and fax machines are the most energy-intensive
types of business equipment because they are paper-intensive
and are left on 24 hours a day. Keep in mind, paper production
in terms of energy used is second only to petroleum, so using
less paper products can only be seen as a good practice.
Internet fax is using the web and your email system to do
your faxing; and because you send and receive your faxes
as email attachments, it is paperless. In addition, you
don't need an old-fashion fax machine and there's no need
for a second phone line. All these factors make Internet
fax an obvious choice for those conscious of needlessly
wasting valuable resources in their business routines.
Using Internet fax is one way of going green. Many individuals
and companies are now using Internet fax for this reason.
Granted, this may be a secondary reason as most opt for
Internet fax because it is much simpler and easier to use
than regular faxing. It is also very convenient to have
access to your faxes anywhere and anytime. You are no
longer tied to your old fax machine.
MyFax is one fax service provider who is actively promoting
the green angle in their marketing. It may prove to be a
very smart marketing move as more potential customers become
environmentally savvy and switch their future purchases
to more "green" choices.
In order to take advantage of these "green" benefits you
have to start using Internet fax. First you have to sign
up to an Internet fax service provider who will give you
your own toll-free or local fax number. You also get an
online interface (site) where you can send and receive
your faxes. You can also store your faxes online.
There are many well-known fax providers such as MyFax, eFax,
TrustFax, Rapidfax, Send2fax... as well as lesser-known yet
very good services such as Faxage out of Denver and
MetroHiSpeed out of Seattle, which are also worth
considering.
There is a small service charge for these faxing services
that can be a very modest ($20 a year) to around $10 a month
- depending on your faxing needs. Keep in mind, international
faxing rates will be more expensive.
Regardless of which service you choose, using Internet fax
is one way you can go green. It might seem like a small act
but every little step in the right direction counts when
you're conserving valuable resources.
So why not go green with Internet fax? You will not only
discover an easier and more convenient way to fax, but
you may just help save the planet in the process. Now you
don't really need Al Gore to tell you how important that
is? Do you?
