Plastic Free Challenge - Day 28
Today's challenge is to "switch to e-bills instead of paper/plastic mail". For those that still have paper bills and statements coming to your mailbox each month, an eBill (electronic bill) is an electronic version of a paper bill that you can view and pay online. Instead of being sent to your home mailbox, eBills are delivered via the websites of companies who you do business with and/or via your electronic mailbox.
You may already do your banking online, but do you still receive electric bills and statements by mail? If so, switch to ebills today and cancel the paper (some bills still have that single-use plastic window for your address as part of the envelope).
To take things a step further:
It only takes a minute to opt out of receiving the yellow pages book, which for many people goes right into the blue bag recycling. Yellow Pages Opt-out (get the app instead)
As well, get rid of paper junk mail and weekly paper flyers, and use the Flipp and Reebee apps instead. You can call 902-426-3031 to cancel your flyer delivery, and in the future there will be an opt-out process for these. You can also place a “No Flyers” sign on your lawn or in your mailbox to ensure these don't get delivered. The more people that do this, the less they will print and overtime it will help lower the paper/plastic quantities produced. Here are a few signs you can consider using:
