Simple Ways Wednesdays – Episode 6

Two things I know for sure about environmentastic! readers:

1. You are interested in living a more “green” lifestyle, each for your own reasons.
2. You are tech savvy enough to subscribe to, read, or even write your own blog.

Knowing these two things makes it easy to suggest the next Simple Way to improve your environmental footprint:

Use paperless billing for your monthly expenses wherever possible

Take a look at your bills the next time they come in, or go to the website for the companies whose bills you receive each month.  Somewhere on the invoice, in the envelope (with all the wasteful flyers and inserts), or on the website, there will most likely be instructions on how to sign up for “paperless billing.”

Pay attention to how much paper you receive with each bill as they come in.  Multiply that amount of paper by the number of bills you receive, then multiply THAT by 12 months per year.  Now think about what you actually do with all that paper.  Me?  I throw it away (recycle it, actually, but it’s still a waste).

So you can see how much of a difference signing up for paperless billing can make!  Sign up today!

Namaste,
