Here are a few easy tips to help the environment everyday.

1.  Click no when the ATM and gas pump ask you if you want a receipt. I used to take the receipt just because I have always been taught to do so for records. But if you think about it how many times do you really go back and look at it? I would just crumple it up and throw it away…absolutely useless.

2.  If you receive a newspaper, see if there is an online subscription available. If you enjoy having a newspaper in front of you with your coffee in the morning then just make sure it is recycled after use.

3.  Have your employer direct deposit your paycheck. This method is often preferred because the check is immediately available in your account and cannot be lost in the mail. Plus no wasted paper!

4.  Pay you bills electronically. I pay all of my bills online and it is easier. You don’t worry about your payments not making it or being late. You will receive emails when the payments are due and you can send them in whenever you have time and on whatever day you want.

5.  Receive your bank statements electronically as well. In this instance, you will also receive an email when your statements are available. You can review these statements at your convenience and as often as you want.
