Paper is used extensively in homes and around urbanisations for cleaning, printing, communication, packing and much more. But paper manufacture is a huge drain on the world’s forests, not to mention a high user of energy and a polluting manufacturing process.
Using recycled paper and recycling the paper you do use is important to minimizing depletion of forests and there are lots of handy tips to reducing paper use at home and in the office. However as a community president you can lead the way by dramatically cutting the amount of paper you use and saving money by switching to online communication methods.
Use a community website to conduct polls, share ideas and information and improve communication. Having a website everyone can access rather than a notice board will dramatically reduce the amount you have to print out and will improve communication because owners can be in touch no matter where they are.
Urbytus is committed to helping communities to save paper and cut costs by rolling out our Online Community Management (OCM) software. OCM is a multi-lingual web-based solution designed to make the job of managing and living within a community easier. It allows effective, paperless communication between owners, the committee and administrators. Owners can advertise properties for sale and rent, access information and share their problems easily. The Community President and Administrator have access to easy to use management tools which can significantly reduce their workload.
Through this software we are already helping around 2 million owners to reduce their use of stamps, envelopes, paper and ink, saving them around 1.2 million Euros. We estimate that we can save large communities up to 15,000€ and help them to be more environmentally responsible. Please contact Urbytus to find out more.
