Potluck Gibber-gabber

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?
