Customer Paradigm promotes privacy-friendly, permission-based email marketing as a way that businesses and organizations can communicate with their customers, friends and contacts.
Companies that shift from paper-based flyers, postcards and direct mail pieces to web-based communications help reduce the number of trees that are cut down (as well as the quantity of junk mail that is instantly recycled or thrown away. More trees mean that the earth is able to convert CO2 (a product of greenhouse gasses) back into life-giving oxygen. And more trees mean more habitats for plants, animals and the creepy-crawly things of the world.
But we're taking it a bit farther. Customer Paradigm purchases part of our electricity (we're not able to purchase all of it yet) from wind-powered, earth-friendly energy.
According the EPA, running just one computer (the equivalent of a 100-watt light bulb) for 8 hours a day on earth-friendly wind power has the same environmental benefits as planting eight and a half-acre of trees over the course of a year.
