In this day and age we have made so many technological  advances; think of how light our computers have become, how  fast, we can watch films in 3D, HDTV is becoming popular,  ebook readers such as the Amazon Kindle are becoming a  preferred way of reading books and newspapers.
We can go further to become paperless and help our planet in  the process.

Small Businesses tend to be guilty of was comsuming and  wasting too much paper since they tend not to have as many  procedures in place. They are more prone to printing off  copies of a document for doing things such as proof-reading  and filing and so forth. A lot of their working processes  tend to be carried on down through the years because “this is  the way we have always done it” mentality.  Instead of taking  a step back and appreciating that we now have scanners, and  everyone has a computer, access to email a etc we can email  documents from one department to another or from one person  to another via email instead of printing out 5 copies of the  same document to hand out to a group of people.

If small businesses re-assessed their working methods and  started to think how we can use the technology we now have,  even that has changed from what we had 5 years ago, they cold  probably streamline their whole working methods and become  paperless and more organized and a lot more effecient. How  much faster is it to access records online than it is to go  to a filing cabinet or to ask a fellow colleague where such  and such is kept?

Throw away the need to keep copies of important documents and  office memorandums and store them digitally on a server.

Amazon is leading the way in our homes and in the way we do  things on a personal level ie in the way we read books and  magazines. Offices have had computers, email systems,  scanners and so forth for the many years now and they should  be leading the way to going the paperless route. Many are  already doing it but we need many more to start following.
