So today, day 91, I decided to get these bills on-line. While for my other bills it was relatively easy - just go to the companies website fill in a form and there you go done, not more than 5 minutes. I quickly realized why I had not converted these 2 bills to on-line sooner as I spent the better part of the morning trying to do this. While getting quite frustrated and calling the companies were I was put on hold in total for 30 minutes, I kept reminding myself that this was for the greater good. And now it is done.... All bills from today onwards will be received online.
The benefits of on-line billing are as follows:
-- save paper
-- saves more paper
-- saves even more paper
-- saves trees that are required to make paper
-- saves water that is required to make paper
-- saves energy that is required to make paper
-- and it is convenient
