Google promises to offset postage charges through their latest project, Gmail paper. According to them, here’s what they’re offering…
A New Button
Now in Gmail, you can request a physical copy of any message with the click of a button, and we’ll send it to you in the mail.Simplicity Squared
Google will print all messages instantly and prepare them for delivery. Allow 2-4 business days for a parcel to arrive via post.Total Control
A stack of Gmail Paper arrives in a box at your doorstep, and it’s yours to keep forever. You can read it, sort it, search it, touch it. Or even move it to the trash—the real trash. (Recycling is encouraged.)Keep it Secret, Keep it Safe
Google takes privacy very seriously. But once your email is physically in your hands, it’s as secure as you want to make it.Gmail Paper is made out of 96% post-consumer organic soybean sputum, and thus, actually helps the environment.
Wow! What will they think of next? I’m going to go try it now before it’s all gone (maybe by April 2nd?)
