42: Go paperless on one account by ihough

Every time you complete this action, you will reduce emissions by an estimated 11 lbs. CO₂e.

Ponder for a moment the number of receipts, bills, banks statements, and other finance-related papers you accumulate over the course of a year. Between producing and shipping the paper, printing the statements, mailing them to you, and your writing checks to mail back, it all adds up to a lot of trees, time, and carbon. You can help reduce the hassle and impact by signing up for paperless billing and banking. Also, avoid taking receipts if you don’t need one (say at the gas pump).
