Reducing Paper Waste Starts at the Post Office

Many credit card companies offer their card members the opportunity to pay their bills online, some of them will even send your statement to your email address instead of your home address. I know American Express and Citibank does this, but if anyone else knows of another company does that, please let me know and I will include it here.

A nice thing about Citibank is that when you mark on their site that you would like to receive email notifications in lieu of a paper statement, they plant a tree in your honor.

One of the largest ways to help is to stop junk mail from being mailed to you. You have the right to not receive junk mail. This site will put you on the "Do Not Mail" list. This not only helps the environment, but it also saves you time in sorting your mail.

You can get on the Do Not Mail list here.

Junk mail is a bane. I dealt with my junk mail when getting out of the Marines. It was a pain, but something everyone should do to help save the 100,000,000 trees cut down every year to make it.
