How?

Fill out the form below and click "Submit." When you do, we'll send you an email that contains links to resources that can help you learn more about the benefits of ePlan technology and how it can make government greener.

For every resource you download using the links in the email, we'll plant a tree with American Forests through their Global ReLeaf® program (to date: 25 million trees planted and counting). The Avolve Software Greener Government 2008 program runs through June 30.

Why?

All sectors of government are called to consider — and take steps to conserve — our nation's environment.

Building officials and departments are an important part of this mandate, and many jurisdictions have deployed online, paperless construction permit application systems, making it easy for citizens to complete transactions over the Web.

But...

What about the rolls and rolls of paper that still must be printed numerous times and delivered by hand to thousands of city and county building departments in order to complete a plan review and approve the permit? From the trees that must be harvested to the carbon fuels used on highways — plus money and time wasted — the impact of paper-based plan review on the environment is significant and cannot be overlooked.

It hasn't been. ProjectDox can help make plan submission, review and approval nearly paper-free end to end. Tens of thousands of trees, millions of barrels of oil and miles on the highways, tens of thousands of cubic tons of greenhouse gases, and millions in paper and storage costs can be conserved. You can have a direct and positive impact by helping to restore trees that have been lost by natural and man-made causes.

Help your jurisdiction and your country become a greener place.
