It's time, friends.
Almost all your bills can come to you via email as opposed to dead tree mail.
As each paper bill comes in, just log on to their website and make the switch. Often, you will have to sign up to be a user at a site for say, your credit card or your phone bill. But that's always quick and easy. Once you are signed up, you can then usually click a paperless billing option.
Why not do it?
In Los Angeles, it seems like the utilities don't offer such a thing, which I find ironic since this is exactly what they should be offering in order to help conserve energy.
On the other hand, it is always good to have at least one bill that comes to you in paper format, especially for renters, in order for you to prove, when necessary, that you are a citizen of a certain city.
But in most cases, you can choose paperless billing.
Call me a martyr for Momma Earth, but the time is NOW.
Added bonus: Less chance of a mail thief pulling identity theft on you.
Bills are forever. It's not the trees' fault. Why not let them give us oxygen instead of pulp?

What about the newspaper? Even though it's mostly recycled paper, it's still got to use a lot more trees than bills. All those glossy print ads in the Sunday edition are more paper than a year's worth of bills.
Please investigate.
Newspapers are really awful. And of course, we can read them online already.
But it's so much less enjoyable.
There is a man who has invented a reusable paper made from a plant based plastic...the soy ink lays down on it, then when you are done, the paper is put in a vat and the soy ink comes off, floats to the top and skimmed. The paper and the ink are then reused.
This is coming.
Funny you should post this because on my TO DO list are the intentions to log onto two sites this week and request e-mail bills....
Great ENFP minds think alike!
