Press Release - Submit-a-Plan Environmental Benefits

			Press Release Date: 26th November 2007 Go Green By Accepting Electronic Submissions Submit-a-Plan Environmental Benefits Did you know that with every electronic submission received from Submit-a-Plan your customers are helping to reduce their Carbon Footprint. This is because applications submitted electronically remove the need for your customers to print and post their applications. Printing and posting applications uses high levels of energy from the production of the paper, additional energy used for the printing and the fossil fuels that need to be burnt in transportation. The Environmental Impact of Postal Applications Over 190,000 kg of paper is used every year making postal applications. Over £1.3 Million is spent annually on printing and posting applications. Equivalent CO 2 is produced to running 179 cars for a year. Every paper based application produces equivalent CO 2 emissions as leaving a TV on for over 7 hours or lighting a house for 27 days.
