kill bill(s).

We all agree that paying bills is an annoying fact of life, but did you know it’s also hard on the Environment? Luckily, there’s an Earth-friendly way to get the job done (and no, it’s not “don’t pay”). Try paying your bills online. If each of the 300 Million people in the United States eliminated just one paper bill from their pile, it would save over 800 tons of paper, 3,000 tons of wood, 15 million gallons of water, 2 million pounds of waste and keep over 4 million pounds of CO2 out of the air – the equivalent to taking 500 cars off the road (courtesy of http://www.papercalculator.org.). These days it’s easy to pay your bills online. Your bank probably has an online bill pay service, and many utility companies offer online billing as an alternative to sending you a paper statement. You could even ask your landlord if he’ll accept online payments, like PayPal. Make mail fun again! Pass on paper and imagine a cleaner world where you never need to reorder checks or bug your coworkers for a spare stamp…
