Go Green: Happy Earth Day

Happy Earth Day! We here at Beach Cities are making an effort to be earth friendly. We have recently incorporated DocuSign. Basically, instead of printing all of the numerous documents that are required for a real estate transaction, and then faxing them and having those printed up again on our clients fax machine we are incorporating all documents to be signed online! If you want to save trees, I recommend visiting http://www.docusign.com/ Here is their challenge: We’re challenging ourselves and our customers to save ten million sheets of paper by using the web to sign documents of all types electronically, without paper. Six million e-signatures delivered via DocuSign’s web-based service by Earth Day 2008 will make a real impact.
Every paperless e-signature has an environmental ripple effect. First there are the trees that won’t get cut down and can keep producing oxygen and absorbing CO2 greenhouse gas. Then there’s the prevention of pollution from paper manufacturing and the avoidance of resource use to transport trees and paper by truck or plane. And finally, secure online e-signing eliminates the need for additional planetary impact to print and overnight mail important documents. Listen to thier podcast: Join the eco-challenge! Click Here.
