Save a Forest–Print Your Emails

Chuck Leavell and Carlton Owen

“Notice: It’s OK to print this email. Paper is a biodegradable, renewable, sustainable product made from trees. Growing and harvesting trees provides jobs for millions of Americans. Working forests are good for the environment and provide clean air and water, wildlife habitat and carbon storage. Thanks to improved forest management, we have more trees in America today than we had 100 years ago”

I’m sure there’s more to it than that, but I’d still rather see this in an email signature than either a silly, unenforceable privacy statement or the too-green-by-a-notch “please don’t print this” notice.
