Put away those pens, get rid of that binder, recycle your notebook – today is World Paper Free Day!

The Association for Information and Image Management (AIIM) spearheads this annual initiative to encourage people and business to go paper free for one day. Why? In their research, they have found that less paper in our document-centric processes means huge benefits in efficiency, collaboration, and well-being.
