Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) February 10, 2010
Did you know that it takes an estimated 4 tons of wood (approximately 24 trees) to make 1 ton of paper? One ton of paper will make approximately 200,000 paper time cards or 8,330 per tree. According to the United States Department of Labor, there were a total of 135,185,230 employed in the United States in May of 2008. Therefore, taking these numbers into account, if only 10% of the employees in the United States use 1 paper time card per week, the number of trees used for paper time card production per year would be in excess of: 84,000 trees each year in the U. S. Alone.
“TimeManagement® provides electronic time and attendance hardware for about 160 of the Fortune 500. We have been eliminating paper time cards for over 30 years. In addition, we have 2 other divisions whose primary focus on environmentally responsible technology.

Our support of EliminatePaperTimeCards. org is simply another way to express our desire to focus on the environment.” Jimmy Bianco, V. P. Sales and Marketing.
