Pennies Are Not From Heaven

A recent study by the PayItGreen Alliance detailed the financial and environmental benefits of receiving and paying bills online instead of via the traditional mail. According to the study, the typical American family will receive nineteen bills or statements and send seven payments per month.Eliminating all that paper by having those bills and statements only arrive paperless via your email or your online account with those companies will save almost seven pounds of paper a year and reduce greenhouse gases by approximately one hundred seventy pounds per year.Financially, you can save on postage up to $100 per year and on checks up to $50 per year.Do yourself and the environment a favor and go paperless in the next year for all your statements and bills.
