Vconnecta and the Environment: Factsheet
Despite the advent of the internet age and the increasing
ubiquity of all things digital, we’re somehow managing to
use more paper than ever before - a phenomenon which1
has a massively detrimental impact on global forestation
levels.
As the infographic (left) displays, the average Irish-person
still fells the equivalent of over two fourty foot trees per
year just to sustain his/her personal need for paper.
While the proliferation of ‘paperless offices’ and other such
attempts to minimize environmental damage is obviously to
be welcomed, globally-minded businesses must evidently
continue to do more to ensure that their carbon and
environmental foot-trails remain as manageable as possible
for future generations.
How much paper can Vconnecta’s Ecanvasser tool save?
Fortunately, Vconnecta’s flagship mobile solution, the Ecanvasser political application, can make a major
contribution towards reducing the average political constituency office’s use of paper during the
course of a working year.
Through digitizing the labyrinth of formerly offline, paper-based systems which politicians relied on to
coordinate canvassing, Vconnecta can both help reduce spends on paper and stationery products and
make a beneficial contribution to the environment.
Specifically, our application can replace:
1
Bureau of International Recycling figures as quoted in The Economist.

2. ● Canvass report forms often prepared by the ‘canvass leader’ documenting which
properties and/or areas were canvassed, average ‘receptions’, etc. By using Ecanvasser,
these can be submitted digitally, in situ, via our top-of-the-line geolocation API.
● A wide variety of political literature typically often furnished to and carried by the canvass
team to ensure accurate and consistent dissemination of key political messages from the
politician on whose behalf the team was canvassing. This could include ‘talking points’ or
lengthier policy positions.
● Voter registration information is integrated directly into the application. No more need
for long-form official registrars documenting who’s registered to vote and who’s not!
● Lengthy, historical records of prior canvasses and other political operations can be
maintained through the online dashboard rather than kept in physical paper files.
Furthermore, our online functionality means that full backups can be taken of each of
these, ensuring that digitizing your data does not mean compromising its long-term
accessibility and safety.

Although a political mobile solution first and foremost, Vconnecta can also make a useful addition to your

excellence towards corporate innovation is matched by a commitment to the broader welfare of
