News & Events There's been a change in the wind... As of January 1, 2007, 100 percent of our electricity is wind-generated. It has not impacted our operations negatively at all; what's more, it has contributed significantly to our planet's well-being. Just our use of wind-generated electricity affords Earth an annual benefit equal to planting 1,045 trees or taking a car off the road for 119,000 miles. We have become an EPA Green Power Partner. We are now an EPA Green Power Partner, committing to use all energy wisely. In addition to switching to wind-generated electricity, we have upgraded our facility to reduce heating and cooling loads. We also aggressively recycle paper, glass, aluminum, toner cartridges and plastics. We have selected the most Earth-Friendly paper mills. Today, we are using paper vendors based on their parallel commitments to resource conservation. Our primary grade of white paper purchases come from a manufacturer in Pennsylvania that, like PrintFast, is powered with wind-generated  electricity. All of its papers are manufactured with 100 percent post-consumer waste and bleached without harmful chlorine compounds. Buying that company's products realizes a huge reduction in wastewater toxicity and greenhouse gas emissions. We no longer use oil-based printing inks. The quality of safer soy-based inks, in use around the world for many years, has now progressed to the point of being on par with or even superior to traditional oil-based inks. PrintFast has now switched all of our primary ink colors to those manufactured with Earth-friendly soybean oil. What does all this add up to?
