Joe Miller, President and Founder of The Print A Forest Program
As a University student I was frustrated with the amount of paper that I needed to print. I tried not to print off my class notes to the point where my grades suffered. I knew there had to be a better way. PrintaForest is the solution. Replanting 75 trees for every tree harvested. Now your printing can plant an entire forest.
In the 21st century the statues quo is no longer acceptable. As the developing world is now consuming natural resources like we in the developed world do, civilization is pushing the natural balance of our planet to the brink. As a planet we must innovate to retain our standard of living and protect diversity of life.
What we cannot reduce, we must offset. If you must print, why not print a forest?
This is made possible by placing coupons and banner advertisement in the unused bottom margins of the pages you print. Any additional proceeds using the personal computer program will be split with non-profit organizations for the purpose of reforestation and conservation. While proceeds for the University program will be shared with the participating university for the purpose of green research, building and electrical grid efficiency, and renewable energy systems.
After the Print a Forest Application is downloaded on to your computer the application pops up when a print sequence is activated. An intro page asks if you would like to use Print a Forest or print the current document as normal. If you choose to print as normal, then your printing will continue as it always has. However, if you choose to Print a Forest then a print preview page will appear. This preview page will show you what the margins will look like with the inserted coupons and advertisement, and a graphic will illustrate how many trees your participation has planted.
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Sept. 10, 2010 — Quantum Ventures of Michigan, LLC (www.qvmllc.com) today announced it has finalized an agreement with Virtual Nerd (www.virtualnerd.com) to make the rising interactive online tutorial provider part of the Quantum family of companies. The subscription-based website offers the essential benefits of private tutoring at a fraction of the cost by providing students with access to over 1,000 interactive, step-by-step video tutorials in math and science.
Founded in 2008, by former Princeton Review tutor and lecturer Leo Shmuylovich and product design specialist Josh Salcman, Virtual Nerd is powered by a patent-pending individualized e-Learning platform that features interactive tutorials in Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Algebra II and Conceptual Physics.
“With 27% of 8th grade students in America testing at ‘Below Basic’ level in math, students clearly need help to improve their math skills,” said Shmuylovich, who has taught MCAT Physics and Biology classes, and worked individually with hundreds of students on SAT, SAT II, AP exams and science and math courses at both the high school and college level. “Virtual Nerd gives those students a significantly more affordable way to receive the individualized help a private tutor provides.”
At a cost of just $49 per month, Virtual Nerd offers step-by-step video tutorials given by teachers who have a great passion for sharing their love of math and science. The website delivers a robust learning experience that anticipates students’ questions and offers in-context links to helpful pre-requisite tutorials.
“We designed Virtual Nerd to give students the ability to work at their own pace and progressively drill down to related tutorials as additional help is needed,” commented Salcman. “That dynamic component of Virtual Nerd gives our users that private tutor learning experience, which is something other online learning programs cannot provide.”
Created by an expert tutor and a designer, Virtual Nerd gives students a new option to turn to when they need help. For a fraction of the cost of private tutoring, students gain access to over 1,000 interactive, step-by-step video tutorials. In 2010, Virtual Nerd received the Parent Tested Parent Approved (www.ptpamedia.com) media award based on four product criteria: value, functionality, appeal and quality.
