In July 2007, green-lifestyle guru Danny Seo asked if the fax machine was obsolete. "What good is it when everything can be done online via e-mail?" he wrote in his blog.
American companies use 210 billion sheets of paper each year for faxing alone, estimates CallWave, a mobile-telephony company based in Santa Barbara, Calif., or roughly 17 million trees annually. Seo was able to repent his former paper-wasting ways when he discovered he could create and e-mail PDF versions of documents; he also began using electronic signatures on contracts. But that's not all he did. When a fax is absolutely necessary, Seo relies on tree-free online faxing, which converts in and outbound documents to electronic images, before transmitting them through e-mail.

If you have a PC equipped with a modem, you can enable and configure the Fax Service in Windows XP to send, receive, track, and monitor faxes. And, if your needs are modest, FaxZero allows you to send up to two three-page faxes a day for free. The company offsets its costs by printing an ad on the cover page, although you can make it go away for $2.
