What Impact Do 33 Million Electronic Documents Have On Our Environment? A Forest’s Worth

2016-2017 was a busy year for Parchment Members! Over the year they sent 33 million official records and documents electronically. These records helped students get into college. They landed the perfect job. And also saved a massive amount of our precious resources!

Good job, team!

We often talk about the man hours saved and the amazing convenience that ordering and sending our records electronically brings. But the impact to our environment, while we know it’s happening, doesn’t get center stage.
