DirectMail.com Releases Data on 'Go Green' Initiatives
PRINCE FREDERICK, MS—March 17, 2010—DirectMail.com (www.DirectMail.com), a leading provider of integrated direct marketing solutions, today released data on results achieved from “go green” initiatives implemented throughout the firm’s three-building physical plant in Calvert County, MD.
Don Burns, General Manager of DirectMail.com’s Cut Sheet Division, is one of several employees leading the firm’s environmental efforts. He says, “My primary concern is saving trees. Simple steps, such as our practice of encouraging customers to use recycled paper, can have a major impact. In one recent job, the customer’s choice of 1,700 lb of recycled vs. virgin fiber paper translated to eight trees saved, 24 lb of waterborne waste and 384 lb of solid waste not created, 3,466 gal of wastewater flow avoided, 755 lb of net greenhouse gases prevented and 5.8 million BTUs of energy not consumed, according to an environmental calculator.”
