By receiving and paying your bill online, every year your household can: • Save 6.6 pounds of paper • Save .079 trees • Conserve 4.5 gallons of gasoline that would be used to mail bills, statements and payments • Avoid the release of 65 gallons of wastewater into the environment • Avoid producing 171 pounds of greenhouse emissions

Huge strides start with small steps. Big results begin with simple acts. Here are just a few easy ways we can help our environment every day:
Make your next computer a laptop: It’ll consume up to 90% less energy than a desktop model.
Switch your lights: If every family in the US made the switch to CFL bulbs, we’d reduce CO2 emissions by more than 90 billion pounds. That’s like taking a million cars off the road!
Shop at your local farmers market: It reduces emissions, fuel consumption and unnecessary traffic. Plus, the food’s fresher!
Unplug your cell phone charger when not in use: You’ll save 15 pounds of CO2 emissions each year.
Get out of the car: Replace just one five-mile car trip each week with a walk or a bike ride and you’ll eliminate around 200 pounds of CO2 emissions each year.

Estimated to reduce water consumption by 400,000 gallons of water per year. »» Upgraded all 70 RSF showers to low flow shower heads that use 30% less water.

It Isn’t “just” a busIness card. A business card is often the first impression you get to make, and it can say a lot more about you than what’s printed on it. Like:
“I’m serious about what I do.” “I want you to remember me.” “I care about the environment.” Printed on durable, recycled “double-thick” paper or kraft board, Greenerprinter business cards always send the right message. Send us your design, or create one on our site. Starting at just $29.50 for 250 cards. You can also use our certified green printing services for everything from postcards to recyclable banners. And we’re conveniently located right here in Berkeley. Learn more at:
