What is one quick, easy, and FREE way to go green today, like now? Read on below for the answer.

save these and go paperless

No matter where you live, what you drive, how much you make, YOU can go green today.

One Super Easy (and FREE) Way To Go Green Today

  1. Sign up for paperless billing (a/k/a e-statements)

What can you have electronically delivered, via email? Let’s take a look and see:

Bank statements, credit card bill, auto finance bills, cell phone, insurance, school loans, dept store credit cards, light bill, gas bill, water bill, health insurance, investment statements, etc.

Take Advantage of Incentives Offered

Companies such as Progressive Insurance, even give out incentives for opting into email delivery of monthly statements. Progressive will plant a tree in a US Forest, when you go paperless.

CSD Credit Union in Kansas MO, holds monthly $25 Visa Gift Card Giveaways for its E-statement Subscribers. Winners announced prominently on their website.

Back in April i wrote how cell phone provider T-Mobile promotes the use of online statements.

Are people switching and going paperless? According to Forrester Research, Yes. eStatement Adoption is on the Rise. With the younger set signing up the most.

The adoption of eStatements in the US continues to grow, which we track by looking at data from Forrester’s North American Technographics® Financial Services Online Survey, Q3 2007. In the past two years, online consumers receiving an eStatement for their credit card grew from 42% to 55%, a 31% increase. Among consumers who have given up paper statements, environmental concerns drove them to move to eStatements. The Gen Y segment has made the most progress in giving up paper statements, while Seniors are still clinging to paper. But there’s still work to be done: Across all deposit and credit product categories, 45% of those consumers still receiving paper statements report that they’ll never switch to eStatements. But the other 55% of paper statement junkies could be convinced to change their ways. What would it take? A mix of financial incentives and help with record-keeping alternatives

Great tips, it seems like every time I read another ‘go green’ list I learn a few more things. Paperless bills are not bad if they don’t e-mail spam or sell your e-mail account.
