Environmentally Sound

The Black PR Wire family has gone green. From contracts to newsletters, the team is working daily to reduce its printing capacity in our corporate quest to provide you with the news that you can use!

This spring, all invoices will be sent electronically. In addition, most correspondence will be sent electronically, reducing paper trails and producing a safer, healthier business environment.

In addition, Black PR Wire has an environmental activity book, entitled Livin’ with the Waters, which provides some insights on an eco-friendly home and surroundings. If you are interested in obtaining a free copy, call Black PR Wire
