On conserving paper

Recently I received a mail from my credit card company offering me some incentives if I enroll in electronic banking. With this I will not be receiving my statements in the traditional mail. They will just give me an electronic device which I must use in order to log in to my online account to view my latest statement. They are offering lots of perks like discounts and free movie tickets so I guess it’s a good deal. Although this got me thinking, if I still use cash to pay my bills, I still need to print my statements to be shown at the payment counters right? So I must also enroll in online bill payments in my savings bank.

A lot of companies have been implementing similar policies regarding conservation of office supplies especially paper. Nowadays, it’s very easy to print anything because of the shared printers in the networks. Unlike before when you need to wait for your turn just to use the old dot matrix printer. Anyhow, I really think that everyone should take part in conservation all of us can participate in our own little ways.
