The goal is to foster eco awareness so the more people read about it the better. Yes of course, especially if you link back to us.

Here at AssureSign we have a tool that allows businesses to send contracts to people's email addresses so they can pull them up on their computer screen and immediately sign using their mouse as a pen. It's legally binding, and our customers now measure their contract turnaround time in minutes, not days. Best of all, they don't spend a dime on postage or printer ink! We've even gone paperless on our in-house time card signatures. You are certainly on the right path when you include the use of Electronic Signatures in your Green initiative.

Once your green actions become habit, then they truly stick. Here are some of mine (btw, I'm responsible for the office space for our company)... - The office has energy-efficient CFL light bulbs. - I drive my hybrid to work, and work from home most of the time. - Our office has a strict recycle policy, with your truly making sure things go in the right place. - The equipment gets turned off at night. - The office is based mostly on natural light. We rarely need to turn on any lights. - Since the office is in the city, we can walk or take public transportation most places. At my home in the suburbs, that's not nearly as easy. - The office provides showers, so I can go for a run or bike ride right from the office. - I bang on the doors of the politicians. (Okay, I'm not that active, but the die-hards would tell you that government policy is the only way to change our energy usage, and "acting locally" does very little). - I'm an organic locavore as much as is practical. Not sure if this helps at the office, though. I feel like I’ve been doing some green things for so long that I’m not really even conscious of them anymore.
