Do Not Mail in SF Chronicle!

Posted by Will

Cameron Scott runs a good blog for the San Francisco Chronicle called the Thin Green Line (we’ll get it up on our blogroll when we get around to such things). It’s a good read even for those of you who live outside the Bay Area.

Earlier in the month Cameron included Do Not Mail at #3 in her “25 low-cost, maximum-impact tips for a green 2009″. Yay! As Cameron says, “stop the junk mail madness”.

As for the rest of the list, there are a bunch of quality tips, but I’m not so sure that #21, paperless online bill-pay, is really paperless.

At least with Bank of America it isn’t. When I recently stopped payment on an online billpay thing, BofA told me that when the customer pays a bill online, the bank simply writes a check and sends it through the mail to the payee.

Which is absurd.

Have you ever asked your bank how they do it? Or the bank that bought your bank?
