| "Electronic Bills Benefit Environment, Group Says" |
|
If one in five households switched to electronic bills, statements and payments,
the collective impact would save 151 million pounds of paper, according to a new
study commissioned by the PayItGreen Alliance. The paper savings would avoid
filling 8.6 million household garbage bags with waste and avoid producing 2 million
tons of greenhouse gas emissions, the study calculated.
The average household receives approximately 19 bills and statements per month
and makes approximately seven paper payments per month. Collectively, the production
and transportation of those paper bills, statements and payments consume 755 million
pounds of paper, nine million trees and 512 million gallons of gasoline, according to the study.
