What you can do to help credit card companies go green
Wednesday June 18, 2008
Want to do your bit to help reduce carbon emissions? You can help out by asking your credit card companies to send you online statements instead of the traditional hardcopy paper statement. Depending on how many transactions you make a month, your monthly statement could be several pages long - even with double sided printing.
Get rid of your hardcopy paper statements.
Online statements arrive faster than hardcopy paper statements. Online statements are more convenient as they are saved straight to your online account to be accessed anytime, anywhere. This removes the need for a paper hardcopy of your statement. You can save them to your computer and burn them to disc if you want to store them.
Online statements save on paper, which cuts down on energy costs and helps reduce carbon emissions.
Contact your credit card companies to ask them to send you online statements and help reduce carbon emissions.
