This just out in the Ankara Daily News: E-signatures save forests!
“According to the Consumer Protection Law, the processes for warranty papers and after-sale service papers have been done via electronic media since Jan. 1, 2008.
In 2008, as a result, 2.6 million signatures were not scribbled on paper in 54,214 transactions, thus saving 1.9 million pages of A4 size paper, which weighs 9.4 tons. This amount saved the felling of 1,600 trees, which equals 8 square kilometers of forestland. It also prevents 3,382 tons of greenhouse gas from being released into the atmosphere.”
Interesting math as it seems to assume that the documents are never printed, maybe a good assumption for this category of document.
