Tips on reducing gas consumption |
As part of our company’s effort to reduce our carbon footprint here are some helpful tips on reducing gasoline consumption.
- Try to drive at a steady speed. Aggressive stops and starts rob you of valuable gas mileage.
- Review your daily and random driving plans on a map, sometimes what we think is the shortest route is not when we visualize the route on a map.
- Remove extra weight from your trunk. The weight of your vehicle is directly related to gas consumption.
- Challenge yourself to use your vehicle more efficiently. Think ahead on how you can eliminate unnecessary trips. Carpool, use the internet, ask your friends and neighbors how you can save each other trips.
Try to complete a home repair project with only one trip to the hardware store.
- Know the cost per mile to drive your car. It will surprise you and cause you to drive less.

The Dot Printer receives FSC
Certification |
FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification is a way for
environmentally conscious companies like The Dot Printer to insure we are
using paper produced from forest areas where traditional or civil rights are
not violated, where good forest conservation practices are in place, where
trees have not been altered genetically, and where forests have not been
harvested illegally or converted to non-forest uses. This step is one of many
in our company and industry to insure we are minimizing the negative impact
of our products and services on the environment. |

Agfa Posts Strong Q4: Digital plates and prepress
equipment sales up 20%
Agfa-Gevaert today announced its fourth quarter results. Sales
amounted to 913 million Euro, as all business groups performed well in the
last quarter of the year. Graphics' volumes continued to grow, especially
for digital printing plates and prepress equipment. The more pronounced
seasonality of the growing IT business is reflected in HealthCare's strong
fourth quarter performance. The full year was characterized by steeply
increasing raw material costs and difficult trading conditions for
HealthCare's film related activities. Agfa's 2005 results were also
affected by the unexpected insolvency filing and subsequent liquidation of
AgfaPhoto, leading to a 2005 net loss of 19 million Euro. read more...
