Save natural resources -- as well as late fees -- by enrolling in easy, online bill-paying options with your bank, credit card companies, cable and utility providers. In fact, these days it seems that almost any outfit that sends you a monthly bill through the mail probably has online payment options.

Check out the websites of the companies you do business with for details. Paperless billing not only saves trees; it also eliminates the fossil fuel (read: CO2 emissions) needed to get all those dozens and dozens of billing envelopes from them to you and back again.

Plus, you'll save money on stamps, which can really add up over time. That will cut down on inks and adhesives needed by the U.S. Post Office, and every little bit helps.
