Green Daily

ComEd is encouraging customers to go paperless. If every customer enrolled in the online billing service:

• Paper consumption would be reduced by 1,344,000 pounds
• 13,000 trees would be saved
• Carbon dioxide emissions from paper processing would be reduced by 3,399,000 pounds
  

3,399,000 pounds less carbon dioxide emissions is equivalent to three hundred less automobiles on the road. Promoting e-Bill and direct debit is part of ComEd's 12 Ways to Green program. For every one hundred customers who sign up for the e-Bill and direct debit program, ComEd will donate one tree to the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Illinois.
