Who-sells-it helps reducing CO2 emissions by offering an online catalogue search engine.

Jan. 2, 2010 - PRLog -- www.who-sells-it.com offers access to more than 10,000 online catalogues on its catalogue search engine. Thanks to this service catalogues and prospectuses don’t have to be sent to households anymore but can be used up to date and online whenever needed.

The physical dispatch of a prospectus has an enormous effect on the nature. In a first step forests are being cut down to produce the paper. Because of that fewer trees are supposed to clean a more and more polluted air. The transportation of the stem pollutes the air with CO2 emissions. Further on, the process of making paper out of wood is very energy consuming and pollutes large amounts of water. Once the paper is produced it is transported to the printing plant and ink is being printed on the paper. The sheets are cut and agglutinated where chemical products are being used.
From there, the catalogues are transported to a distribution centre and from there to then end customer. Summarised, these ecological impacts come together:
-   noise exposure
-   CO2 emission
-   Water pollution
-   Forest clearance
-   Other transportation emissions
-   Energy consumption
-   Usage of chemical products

A user can help to reduce these emissions very easily, by putting a “stop advertisement” sticker on the letterbox and reading the prospectuses online. The only pollution created by reading online is the consumption of energy, but this consumption is not even comparable with the energy consumption of a physical delivery, estimated at around one percent. These emissions can be neutralised by buying solar energy certificates.

Who-sells-it.com offers a catalogue search engine with more than 10,000 catalogues online, up to date and easy to find. Additionally catalogues of different competitors can be compared at ease. Around one million people do that every month already and help protecting the environment by doing that.
