Based in Boulder County, CO, LeaseRunner launched in the summer of 2011.
Therefore, LeaseRunner provides affordable, comprehensive paperless web-based leasing solutions. As the paperless way to lease properties, LeaseRunner saves trees and money.
How does going paperless benefit the environment?
Dependence on paper-based products is responsible for more than 14% of global deforestation, based on the Paperontherocks website. One tree, which takes more than 100 years to grow, only provides 17 reams of paper. The production of more than 50% of paper used worldwide has destroyed virgin forests.
Improve atmosphere quality
A paperless solution could save billions of trees, which increases the availability of oxygen in our atmosphere and depletes pollutants as well. Moreover, trees help reduce soil erosion, which prevents pollution during floods.
Reduce carbon footprint
Additionally, directly minimizing their carbon footprint is something that businesses can do by switching from paper to digital. Paper production produced and released a massive amount of 49.90kg of carbon dioxide into the environment, based on Viessmann
Reduce emissions to the environment
The manufacture of paper pollutes harmful air pollutants such as carbon dioxide, sulfur oxides, and nitrogen oxides into the environment. The cause of acid rain is these contaminants. Other than the paper itself, the ink and cartridges used for it also are very harmful. They contain toxic chemicals that, if not disposed of with the utmost care, can pollute the environment.
Recycling alone won't be sufficient to address the pollution issue caused by paper production, recycling generates additional garbage and toxins that end up in waterways and ocean bottoms. So paperless solutions could decrease air and water pollution more directly.
