Going Green = Saving Time, Headaches and the Environment
We at StadiumRoar are huge proponents of sports programs going green. Every year, more and more people play sports, and it is more and more important for us to step away from wasteful habits from last generation like paper registration and paper payments. Nowadays, you can take advantage of free online sports registration software, save yourself a ton of time and headaches, and save the environment a ton of damage.
Check out some of these mind-boggling facts about paper payments provided by the people at PayItGreen…
The average household receives approximately 19 bills and statements and makes approximately 7 payments in paper form per month.
By switching to electronic bills, statements, and payments, every year the average household would:
Save 6.6 pounds of paper
Avoid producing 171 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions.
Saving this amount of greenhouse gas emissions is the equivalent of:
The emissions avoided by not driving 169 miles
The emissions avoided by not consuming 8.8 gallons of gasoline
Planting 2 tree seedlings and allowing them to grow for 10 years
Preserving 24 square feet of forestland
Avoid releasing 63 gallons of wastewater into the environment
Avoid using 4.5 gallons of gasoline to mail bills, statements, and payments
If 1 in 5 households switch to electronic bills, statements, and payments, every year the collective impact would:
Save 150,939,615 pounds of paper
Save 1,811,275 trees
Avoid producing 3,920,802,916 pounds (1,960,402 tons) of greenhouse gas emissions
Saving this amount of greenhouse gas emissions is the equivalent of:
The emissions avoided by not driving 3,861,769,517 miles
Taking 325,722 cars off the road
The emissions avoided by not consuming 200 million gallons of gasoline
Planting 45.6 million tree seedlings and allowing them to grow for 10 years
Preserving 12,405 acres of forestland
Avoid creating 1,439,601,370 gallons of wastewater
