Businesses and individuals across the country are looking for ways to cut costs during these challenging economic times.  Equally important is the growing desire for businesses and individuals to bring eco awareness into their daily lives.  The one thing we touch every day is paper.  Paper and paperboard products constitute the largest portion of our waste stream.  Reducing our paper use presents the opportunity to reduce the waste flowing into landfills and save trees at the same time. 

A solution we site in our professional consulting is Zumbox.  Zumbox is the first all-digital online alternative to the traditional paper postal service, and if you have a street address, you can already start using it.   Note, Zumbox is not email.  It is based on permanent street addresses.   
 
Zumbox is a great small business resource.  It offers a variety of tools to make sending mail of any format type (HTML, Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator, QuarkXPress, CRM, and PostScript) to a variety of audiences a breeze.   In addition, you can store contact information, transfer content and recipient lists via Zumbox’s secure FTP, and use the printer driver to send mail right from accounting software.
 
As we state in our sustainability consulting with clients, reducing paper has its benefits:
