The impact of global warming is here and now. We contribute to carbon dioxide emissions in our daily activities such as driving to work, flying to meet a customer, down to printing a delivery note or sending an invoice by courier.    
 
Global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the burning of fossil fuels stood at a record 8.38 gigatons of carbon (GtC) in 2006, 20 percent above the level in 2000. Emissions grew 3.1 percent a year between 2000 and 2006, more than twice the rate of growth during the 1990s.  Per capita carbon emission in North America tops the chart averaging 24.1 metric tons person, followed by 10.5 for EU, 5.3 for South America and 3.4 for Asia in 2006.    
 
It's shown that operating a traditional office fax machine causes the annual emission of 0.662 metric tones of carbon. Not to mention paper and consumables (e.g., thermal paper, toners, ink cartridges), -- materials and energy used in their manufacture and subsequent pollution of various kinds and levels in their disposal.
 
Today, documents remain a irreplaceable media for the business norm.  The deployment of ExtraFax can play a substantial role in your go-green strategy – focusing on reduction of hardware, consumables, physical space, energy, and distribution requirements.
