The Facts

According to a recent report, about half of all U.S. households use online banking, with about half of those also paying bills online. If everyone started using these services on a regular basis, the results would be remarkable, such as:

  • More than 16 million trees would be spared
  • Fuel consumption would drop by 26 million BTUs – enough to provide residential power to San Francisco for a year
  • Air pollution would be reduced by 3.9 billion pounds of carbon dioxide equivalents – comparable to taking 355,015 cars off the road
  • About 1.6 billion pounds of solid waste would be eliminated – equal to 56,000 fully loaded garbage trucks
