According to PayitGreen.org…
If 20 percent of households (22,876,800 households) were to switch to electronic bills, statements, and payments, every year the collective impact would:
- Save 150,939,615 pounds of paper
- Save 1,811,275 trees
- Avoid creating 1,439,601,370 gallons of wastewater
- Avoid creating enough wastewater to fill 2,180 Olympic-size swimming pools
- Avoid filling 8,597,328 household garbage bags with waste
- Avoid filling 6,141 garbage trucks with waste
- Avoid using 102,945,600 gallons of gasoline to mail bills, statements and payments
- Avoid producing 3,920,802,916 pounds (1,960,402 tons) of greenhouse gas emissions
- Easy (View your bill online)
- Easier (View your bill online + Bank Draft)
- Easiest (View your bill online + Bank Draft + Budget Billing)

Getting ebills is probably the easiest way to cut down on our paper consumption, but it's also the easiest way to pay your bills. It saves a stamp, a trip to the post office, and you don't ever have to worry about paying a late fee thanks to automatic payments. Many companies actually give their customers a discount for turning off their paper statements.
I just promoted your eBills program on my blog at http://easygreener.blogspot.com
I can't believe that so many folks are still paranoid about doing this simple activity.
I think this is a fantastic idea, except that instead of passing on or sharing the finacial savings that goes with it to the consumer, the companies remain greedy and discourage its use.
