About QuickGifts
Living Green
We certainly don't claim to be the authority on living green, but Team QuickGifts wants to share our everyday actions that make a difference in preserving our environment. Below is an ongoing billboard of comments listing the little and big changes we are making, both at home and at the office to do our part in the mind set of "Reuse Reduce Recycle".5.Bank Online - 3/5/09
No paper statements.
4. Email Billing - 2/10/09
It is faster, easier to track and cost $.42 less. Multiply that by 1000 and you save $420 plus mailing costs. And the best part, A/R looks better.
3. Work Commute - 1/13/09
Carpool and biking to and from work. Walk to lunch.
2. Paper - 12/1/08
3/3/09 Wanting printing at the office doesn't waster paper. it also wastes toner, which is rough on the environment, and the hihgly packaged cartridges it comes in. And it's expensive - a 2006 cost companrison found that printer ink costs $66 per ounce, companred to $44 an ounce for Chanel No. 5 and a mere $5 an ounce for Dom Perignon! To get the most of ouf your cartridges, set the default print settings to "draft". When printer cartridges run low, give them a shake to get the last bits of ink. Finally, always ask yourself if you really need that printed document; store your files electronically.
