Reduce paper usage with paper free bills

According to research done by Mandy Haggith; author of “Paper Trails“, the average person throws away 250kg of paper per year.

It is made up of junk mail, toilet rolls, magazines, receipts and other paper goods.

One simple thing you can do to reduce your paper footprint is to say no to paper bills. If you already pay by direct debit or standing order, then making the switch is simple.

Many companies will offer you a monetary incentive for this such as reduced fees, so it’s a win-win.

Most banks, electricity suppliers and telephone companies support paperless billing, so why not contact yours and see if you can go paper free?
