Going green can have a euphorically contagious effect! Adapting green habits is good for the environment, but who knew it can get us great deals too. Here are some great environmental benefits for every ton of paper that is recycled.

7,000 gallons of water is conserved

380 gallons of oil is saved

And we save enough electricity to power an average house for six months.

SmashingApps and Filebanker are teaming up to do their part for the environment. Average American consumes more than 700 pounds of paper per year, highest compared to anywhere else in the world. Hundreds of thousands of trees are cut down per day to support the consumption of paper that can be easily avoided.

SmashingApps believes that we can change that by helping people save and share their documents electronically instead of printing them out each time. We do not want you to print so much so we are offering 250 GB file hosting accounts for free at FileDropper. You can use these accounts to share all your documents without ever having to print anything.

All you have to do to get your free 250 GB file hosting accounts is to make a pledge about going green. When doing your pledge please post a link to this post. You can make a pledge in any of the following ways…
