How do you pay your bills?
Friday, April 25th, 2008
I just finished paying the bills for the month and guess what! There was no paper involved. I do all online banking, so all my bills are emailed to me and I logon to a few websites to see my bank statements and authorize some transactions. While I’ve been paying my bills online for awhile, I’ve recently gone through each bill I receive and make sure that I request to no longer receive paper bills but rather they are emailed to me.
There are tons of benefits of online banking but I’ll only focus on the environmental impacts here. The bills aren’t being printed out, shipped to me through the mail, no paper checks, forget driving to the post office, buying stamps, and no transportation of the all that paper back to the company I’m paying. So it’s not just eliminating the paper but also the environmental impacts of transportation.
