\"\"<\/a>Many printers say they are \u201cgreen\u201d or \u201ceco-friendly\u201d because they print using soy inks, are FSC-certified<\/a>, or print on recycled paper. But if you want an example of a printer who is really serious about its stewardship of the environment, take a look at Green Printer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Using sources from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), Green Printer estimates that it helped its customers save 74,645 pounds of greenhouse gases and 38,116 pounds of solid waste since the eco-friendly printing company opened in June 2007.<\/p>\n

Green Printer is so serious about its environmental stewardship that it actually offers an “Eco-Calculator<\/a>” that helps its customers calculate how much greenhouse gas and trees they, too, can save by using its services. These savings are achieved, among other things, by using sustainable printing methods (such as waterless printing) and printing on treeless and recycled paper. (See Green Printer’s story<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

This adds a completely new dimension to the issue of socially responsible printing\u2014a more active sense of participation.<\/p>\n

As I wrote last week<\/a>, one of the benefits of using the document management and marketing models driven by digital printing<\/a> is that you can see the positive impact you are making on the environment by what is missing\u2014piles of wasted inventory, unread mail, and trash cans filled to the brim. But Green Printer offers another way to quantify your impact on the environment, one that allows you to “see” the invisible.<\/p>\n

That’s a very powerful motivator to positive social action\u2014to the tune of 74,645 pounds of greenhouse gases so far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
