I spent a couple days and less than $500 fixing the leaky parts of my house's "building envelope" and cut my heating bill by one-third. Those who are interested in finding out the simple, low tech (no tech!) things I did should check out my blog at http://nicolettet.wordpress.com/2009/06/12/saving-my-energy-for-a-greener-tomorrow/ Sustainable Spaces is absolutely correct!

It's the first viable alternative to paper mail in that it enables companies to send you a digital version of the mail they would typically send as paper. Why? Because Zumbox uses the same street address system. This is why companies can't use your email...because they don't know it! So instead of delivering paper mail to your physical mailbox, it's digital mail to your browser-based Zumbox. Same mail, no paper. Last year, the USPS sent 212 billion pieces of mail, which accounted for 150 million trees. Coincidentally, there are 150 million street addresses in the U.S. and, therefore, 150 million Zumoboxes. So each home can eventually save one tree per year by migrating their paper mail to digital via Zumbox. Not to mention the emissions, etc. associated with paper mail production, processing, and delivery. Unlike other alternatives to the USPS, there is no paper whatsoever. No scanning and no waste. Think about it: most paper mail starts out in a digital format. Digital is the native format for our paper mail, prior to being printed. Zumbox simply enables companies to deliver the mail in its native format, which totally eliminates the printing, shipping, and hand delivery.
