MyFax Asks Businesses to Save a Tree by Tossing Their Fax Machines

Internet fax service provider shows how individuals and organizations can reduce
environmental impact and save money by sending faxes online

OTTAWA--(Business Wire)--
As Earth Day approaches on April 22, Internet fax serviceMyFax is encouraging
individuals and organizations to make a change that will positively impact the
environment. One easy change that can make a difference is shutting down fax
machines in favor of sending faxes electronically. In fact, faxers who recycle
their fax machine are eligible for three free months of MyFax service.

On its "Fax online. Save a tree," Web page, MyFax points to several
environmental facts that impact workspaces, including:

* In the US, annual office paper consumption is enough to build a 10-foot-high
wall that`s 6,815 miles long. That`s more than the distance from New York to
Tokyo.
* Producing one ton of paper (200,000 sheets) requires 20,312 gallons (76,889
liters) of water. In the UK alone, 12.5 million tons of paper was consumed in
2005.
* ENERGY STAR, a program of the US Environmental Agency states a fax machine
consumes more electricity than any other office equipment.
* Reducing paper use by 10% in the US alone would prevent the emission of 1.6
million tons of greenhouse gases -- the equivalent of taking 280,000 cars off
the road.

MyFax allows users to send and receive faxes through their email accounts or via
a secure online server, anywhere they can get an Internet connection. There`s no
need for a separate machine, or the paper, toner and energy it consumes. MyFax
also improves security by delivering faxes directly to the account instead of to
a machine in a common area. Its electronic format allows more efficient document
management, allowing faxes to be easily forwarded and stored without the need
for printing.

"Each year Earth Day raises awareness that we all share responsibility for the
environment," said Joseph Nour, CEO of Protus, the provider of MyFax. "Switching
to Internet faxing is a simple and impactful change that can make a difference."
