ADEC Preview to Sponsor Rainforest Foundation
"At ADEC Preview we scan many tons of our customers' paper documentation every year, allowing much of it to be recycled".
The increasing demand for paper currently outstrips the amount of pulp-wood produced by tree plantations. As such, the wood has to be sourced from old-growth forests, including tropical rainforests. Thus the rich biodiversity of the world's rainforests and the livelihoods of the native peoples who depend upon them is threatened by global economic pressure from many sources. We can do something about it by helping the work of the Rainforest Foundation.
"For every new customer signed from January 2004, ADEC Preview will donate up to £100* to the Rainforest Foundation".
*at £1 per 1,000 scanned images. The average 4-drawer filing cabinet contains 20,000 A4 pages - a £20 donation.
