How Green is TransactionPoint?

Statistics:

Based on about 27,000 pages per day faxed to TransactionPoint and 255 business days per year, that's 6,885,000 pages or 13,770 reams of paper (68,850 pounds) per year saved if just one user looks at every document without printing it. In the printing world, it is estimated that one ream of paper uses about 6% of a tree. That adds up to 826 trees - a virtual TransactionPoint forest!

There are many estimates of the results of not using paper. Besides the tree itself, the manufacturing process generates greenhouse gases, as do the trucks that move the paper from factory to suppliers and to the end user.

The 'Global Cooling Campaign' estimates that planting one tree compensates for the effect of driving (or flying) 2,000 miles or using 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity. Based on their figures, 826 trees is the equivalent of not driving 1,652,000 miles or saving 826,000 kilowatt hours of electricity - enough to power 184 homes in San Francisco for an entire year.

Fidelity will soon be launching its Transaction Connect Services utilizing the TransactionPoint system. By utilizing these services along with TransactionPoint you will be saving your time, your files and the planet.
