According to CallWave estimates, 17 million trees are used annually to supply the 210 billion sheets of fax paper used by U.S. companies annually.

eh? fax machines an eco-killer? would they prefer businesses recieve an email and print out a copy for their records? or would they prefer someone mail something, using up even more paper plus the energy costs involved with postal delivery?
