The Green Side of Printing

We celebrated the first Earth Day in 1970, and over the past 45 years, we’ve seen a growing emphasis on the impact we have on our environment. Consumers and businesses alike are tasked with being more conscious about our decisions, our actions and our earth. It’s a challenge for sure. Just how do you balance everyday tasks that have an environmental footprint (like your commute to work) with a desire to make more sustainable choices?

With these tips, sustainable choices at work are easier than you think
