Sign up for online bank statements, credit card statements etc and save the environment

If your bank or credit card company offers online statements rather than the traditional snail mail statements then consider signing up for them. You can usually set it to send you an email when a new statement is available and you just have to login and view it. If possible, just view it on the screen and organise payment rather than printing it out too. You can always save an electronic version for your records. This way there is a paper saving in that it is not being printed and also the energy savings in it not having to be delivered so there is less mail floating around the post system that has to be delivered.
Of course the banks will saving money by not having to pay for the postage, although if you bank is like mine, they won’t pass the cost savings on. Perhaps if you have a few spare dollars then you can invest in the bank by buying shares as that seems to be more attractive than putting your money in one of there accounts. Ah, but I digress…
