Try online bill pay, for example: by paying your bills online, you reduce paper waste and help save fuel consumption by the trucks and planes that carry paper checks around the country.
In fact, according to Javelin Strategy & Research, if every American household paid their bills online, it would cut solid waste by 1.6 billion pounds and save 2.3 million tons of woods, equivilent to 16.5 million trees.

Great Post!
I just wish banks would offer a brief overview to their new or existing customers of how to do this, say once or twice a month. A lot of people are still nervous about banking and bill paying online. If they were educated about the security and ease I think more people would go the paperless route.
I have actually used an almost paperless process to purchase a home mortgage from Wells Fargo Bank. The majority of the contact has been by email and a small amount by phone and only about 25 pages of paper has been involved in actually obtaining a mortgage. The first time I bought a home I had a folder that was 3 inches thick of paper.
