Today, mankind proudly celebrates Earth Day. Such celebration will ideally make us more aware of the environmental impact our actions and lifestyles have on planet Earth.
One of the most discussed and studied ways that we impact our environment is by the emission of Carbon Dioxide (CO2). Since the inception of the Industrial Revolution, the resulting deforestation and oil/coal/gas extraction from the Earth has created a CO2 level skyrocket effect. The Environmental Protection Agency notes that CO2 emissions rose from 280 parts per million (ppm) during the Industrial Revolution to 382 ppm in 2006 – an increase of CO2 emissions by about 1.9 ppm/year. The increase of CO2 and other greenhouse gasses emissions – which absorb and emit heat – result in a steady increase in the earth’s overall temperature known as the Greenhouse effect. The Vulcan Project, lead by Kevin Gurney and assistant professors at Purdue University, have created a map of CO2 emissions. From this map, it is evident that cities with higher populations have more emissions especially during the winter months. The effects of this increase in temperature result in rapid global climate changes and extreme conditions. As theorized, what Company XYZ does in Denver today could drastically impact a small European village relying on “normal” rainfall during their upcoming growing season.
There is hope! Businesses can all help limit CO2 emissions by reusing and recycling goods, becoming more energy efficient, and switching over to renewable energy sources such as solar & wind power. But, such “drastic” actions take some changes in current infrastructure that some organizations are more willing to partake in than others. Without being said, the easiest/quickest way for your organization to help the environment (while cutting costs) is to go paperless. As you know, many organizations have been promoting paperless environments for some time – has your organization started the transition?
By having all existing documents and forms signed electronically, Sertifi’s customers have greatly decreased their need for paper. Aside from making a small step towards limiting deforestation and reducing a Carbon footprint, utilizing Sertifi’s solution allows for better time and document management which obviously saves more than just planet Earth.
