(Before "Green" was "In"!)
It would be easy for us to jump on the “Green” bandwagon and peel and stick some badges on ourselves announcing our ardent commitment to “sustainability for the future” or “reducing our carbon footprint”.
Truth is, Pagetender has always been an eco friendly company, just by nature of the business, (no pun there).
We are, and have been, a 99.9% paperless company.
We’re an Inbound Marketing company. We have no printed brochures and no junk mail to send. We don’t have an ad in the yellow pages and have no need for phone books in our office (or any office).
All record keeping, billing, correspondence and even note-taking at Pagetender are done electronically. Hardcopies of design mockups are rarely requested as they can be viewed on screen. A single ream of paper has lasted in our office almost 2 years!
The small amount of paper (mostly junk mail) we do have to get rid of gets shredded and sent to a recycling facility that donates its proceeds to the Worcester County Food Bank. Subsequently, excluding any cans and bottles which get also recycled, our office generates less than one bag of trash per month! Find another “eco friendly company” that can claim that!
Being such a small company, Pagetender could easily blow off these responsibilities with the “what difference can we make” excuse. But this is not about bragging that we’re eco friendly or that we're a “Green” business, it’s just because we actually care.
