Happy Earth Day!

It’s Earth Day, and as such, it seems like an appropriate day to recognize just how much paper — and how many trees — the Emma Community helps to save each and every month by sending email newsletters and campaigns instead of printing ‘em.

If everybody in the Emma community printed a campaign for each recipient instead of sending an email, here’s how that paper would add up in just a single month:

+ Stacked end to end, the paper would cover the distance of a three round-trips between New York and Paris.

+ Folded into little origami swans, those little origami swans would form a line as long as the Earth’s diameter.

+ Turned magically from paper into pocket-sized Etch-a-Sketches, we would be able to give everybody in Finland 27 pocket-sized Etch-a-Sketches.

+ The Finns just really like to doodle, is all.

And if that weren’t enough, the Emma Community has helped us plant more than 55,000 trees since we first starting planting 5 trees for each new customer back in December of 2007. Here’s one last number to ponder, then: If each of those 55,000 trees were turned into a small squirrel, then that would be kinda uncool, because squirrels are neat and all but we’d rather have the trees.
