Press Release Summary = Flash Drive Direct hires promotional products expert John
Graham to head their eco line of Flash Drives

Press Release Body = ETC (Eco Tech Certified) Flash Drive Direct announces it has
hired long-time promotional products expert John Graham to run its North American
operations.
John Graham has nearly 15 years of experience in the promotional products industry.
He is a member of PPAI and ASI and has written numerous articles for many promo and
marketing magazines. He has dealt with all of the major players in the ad specialty
industry including Corporate Express, Image Seller and many others.
Flash Drive Direct http://www.Flashdrivedirect.com is touted as one of the leaders
in the field of USB innovation and in particular Flash Drive technology. Flash Drive
Direct is ETC certified giving it an ECO-Friendly designation. The designations
comes about as a result of new technology that shows that the use of Flash Drive
Direct USB drives provide an enormous savings of energy used in both the manufacture
and power used to encrypt data on the drive versus the power used in writeable CD
technology.
Graham goes on to explain " We all think of eco-friendly as picking up trash and
reducing our use of natural resources. What we don't think about is the use of
energy and how that affects the environment. When a Flash Drive is constructed it
consumes about the same amount of energy and petrochemicals than it takes to produce
a writeable CD. However, a writeable CD (over 1 billion sold in North America last
year alone) takes enormous amounts of energy to burn the info onto the disc.
Multiply this use of energy (energy produced by coal, natural gas or hydro
electricity) by the thousands of CDs that a business might use in the course of a
year and your energy consumption skyrockets. On the other hand the near Zero energy
used to transfer information onto a Flash Drive is almost undetectable."
"Flash Drive Direct is the only company with the Eco-Tech certification for their
Flash Drives as far as I know" states Graham. "FDD wants to be known not only for
its fashion forward design styles but also for its environmental strategy, I think
they have achieved that and more!"
