PG&E sent 6.5 million e-Bills to customers in 2006. With paperless billing, we:
- Avoided the use of more than 165 tons of paper
- That's about 2,800 trees and 160 tons of solid waste
Benefits of paperless billing for every 38,500 PG&E bills, the equivalent of 1 ton of paper, include:
- 16,450 gallons of water saved
- 1,941 pounds of avoided solid waste
