We save trees by going paperless. I know that sounds cliche and cheesy, but it's really true. Unless you really need a physical copy of something (rarely), not printing it out means you don't need to buy as much (if any) paper. If enough people do that, then the manufacturer cuts down less trees. By not needing to deal with paper and long voicemails (we can read way faster than reading, after all), we save time and energy. We can process and take action on digital text and images MUCH faster, freeing up resources to do more or other things. What's interesting is that every year, this whole paper-less/voicemail-less work flow is becoming standard. More and more technology released to let us do that. Better times for us all :) Here's to a continued effective workflow and increased time and energy to be able to do more of what we love, Oleg Hey Tim,

I have started to get rid of paper and the mail problem a year ago. But I won't use credit cards if I can pay cash. I really like to pay via cash, because it's faster, I can get a lot more discounts and I stay anonymous. I really don't like it, when it's transparent what brands I buy, what time I go shopping, how much I spent on certain products etc. Excellent tips Tim.

Many places simply don't accept credit cards. This might have to do with the fact that in rural areas there is more poverty and more cash employment (either cash payroll or off-the-books work). So don't travel the US assuming universal credit card access. You can probably find any service in any area, but in some places you'll have to try two or three locations before you find one that takes credit (depending on your needs).

About checks, it's even easier for me not to use them. In Belgium, we don't use it from 01/01/2002... :-) Nice practical article, Tim.
