Go paperless with your finance. Save treesđ˛ and your personal space, while enjoying the convenience of finding what you need instantly!
The average household can save 6.6 pounds of paper and 171 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions by simply going with e-billing.
The resources used to mail a bill to a utility company might seem trivial. By paying bills electronically you prevent about one pound of envelopes and printed bills from being created.
Add that up across sixty or seventy million households, and thatâs 120 million gallons of fuel not burned to ship paper here and there. It also means millions of pounds of paper goods are never produced and distributed.
Paper waste has to be recycled but it often is not. Much of the paper from the cable company and the power company ends up in landfills. Even if the paper does get recycled, this is less of a benefit to the environment than simply not making the paper in the first place. (Arcadia Blog: The Economic and Environmental Benefits of paying Online, 2017).
