Is Digital Media Worse for the Environment Than Print?

If you thought you were saving forests and protecting the environment by going paperless...think again

Public opinion polls show that concern about the environment rises and falls based on the state of the economy and other factors, but concern about the negative impacts associated with using paper and printing continues to rise. Nothing captures the essence of these feelings more vividly than the signature line appearing at the foot of more and more emails: "Please consider the environment before printing this email."

Print, Digital, or Both?

demo image

Are you prepared to fight for the future of print media, digital media or both?

Sustainability, energy security and climate change are challenging issues that are compelling every business, every government and every individual to rethink the ways in which they employ energy, source materials, manage waste and to redefine what it means to be “greener.”

As printing sales continue their record breaking declines, it's a natural inclination to want to fight back against claims that print is a "dead medium" that "kills trees" and that somehow going paperless is "automagically" doing your part to save the planet.
