Pay your bills online
By Alexia Elejalde-Ruiz, RedEye reporter
For every 38,000 bills paid online, 5,058 pounds of greenhouse gases are avoided and two tons of trees are preserved, according to NACHA -- The Electronic Payments Association, a non-profit. Using direct payment also saves a person about $150 annually in stamp and check costs and late fees, NACHA estimates.
Have your employer pay you through direct deposit to further cut back your paper trail.
