You have to stop it.



Generally a cell phone bill is around 15-20 pages and sometimes more. Does anyone really read it? Or does anyone even care to open the envelope? Most of the people are just interested in knowing the amount due. That you can check at one click of mouse over internet. Also you can enroll for auto-payment every month. Then why not to stop paper statement? I have got my all bank, credit card, phone bills electronic. My credit card company even claims that they will plant one tree if I stop paper statement. I am not much sure abut it, but I am sure that I am saving many trees by stopping all my paper statements. If your mail-box gets flooded with pre-approved credit card offers then you can stop it by making only one call. Look at the bottom of any such credit card offer, you will find one 1-800 number, dial it and opt out. This is some kind of centralized database, so by one call you can stop all credit card offers. I have done that, too. Oh, and the number two reason I did this all is I don’t want to spend hours on shredding paper statements. I don’t want any security scam to happen with me. So I shred any paper with my name, SSN, address or phone number in sunflower seed size.


I request you my friends, please act right now. Stop all your paper statements and enroll for electronic copy.
