Paperless Billing

March 17, 2010 By Tox

If you are really passionate about doing your own thing to help the environment, you will soon realize that there are so many ways by which you can contribute. About a month or so ago, I received a text message from my mobile phone provider. It informed me about a promo wherein you apply for paperless billing, and the company will give you gift certificates for a local fast food chain.

I did not fail to see the irony there. On the one hand, I would be helping the environment by contributing to the use of less paper. On the other hand, I would be patronizing this fast food chain, which I doubt employs the greenest practices we can think of. Still, the idea of not receiving sheaves of paper every month to find out exactly how much I owe the telephone company appealed to me.

You see, I already checked my billing statement online anyway. Ever since they introduced the feature of being able to do this, I took up on the offer immediately. I hate waiting for bills to come through the post – I’d rather know how much I owe right away. I do not need the hard copy to pay my bill anyway since I use an online payment facility. So enroll I did, and this month is the first wherein I did not receive a hard copy of my bill. It’s a small thing, but with millions of people doing it, the impact is significant. Why not go the paperless way when you can?
