I always pay my bills online, but not for any other reason than I am too lazy to write checks. Until today.. I received this information today and I was amazed.

If all US households viewed and paid their bills online every year it would:

• Save 2.3 million tons of wood, or 16.5 million trees
• Reduce fuel consumption by 26 millions BTU’s, enough to power San Francisco homes for a year
• Reduce greenhouse gas pollutants by 3.9 billions pounds, equal to taking 335,015 cars off the road
• Reduce toxic wastewater by 13 billions gallons, enough to fill 19,846 swimming pools
• Reduce solid waste by 1.6 billion pounds, enough to fill 56,000 garbage trucks
• Remove 8.5 million particulates and 12.5 million nitrogen oxides from the air, equal to taking 763,000 buses and 48,000 18-wheelers off the road..

So now I am lazy AND green!! Are you doing your part be green like me?
