LOS ANGELES - April 22, 2014 - PRLog -- eFax^®, the world's leading online fax service and a brand of j2 Global, Inc. , today announced the launch of its new “Going Green” sweepstakes. In honor of Earth Day, April 22, eFax is inviting entrepreneurs and small business professionals to submit stories of how they have “gone green” in their workplace by implementing environmentally friendly business practices. Some ideas will be shared online and anyone that submits a story will be entered for a chance to win an iPad mini or a $50 Amazon gift card.

eFax is launching the Going Green sweepstakes as a way to encourage and help small business professionals exchange ideas and tips for “greening” their companies.

Based on the number of pages our customers send and receive, our sources¹ estimate eFax can help save 100 acres of trees this year. This sweepstakes will tap into the creativity of business professionals to find even more ways to go green.”
