As I was cleaning my office today, I was surprised by the amount of paper I was shredding. Old bills, that I no longer needed. Just from ONE year it was a pile that filled my shredder almost to the brim. So how does this relate to recycling? Well for every paper bill you receive a tree had to be cut down. Most companies don't print on recycled paper (I'm sure a few do) so lets save some trees on our own. Consumers are making an impact on companies to become more green, therefore they are offering your bill in email form. Consumers Energy, AT&T, Verizon these are just a few that now offer a way to save the paper clutter. So if you can stand to NOT receive that paper reminder in the mail, opt for a paperless bill. Get your reminder in email. I know this isn't practical for everybody, but just eliminating one bill in paper form can make a difference. Every bit we do, HELPS!!
Get a day planner and use it to write down your bills, so you don't forget about one. This is a help in general budgeting too, but it goes even farther in eliminating the extra paper waste.
So until next Tuesday
