greening - part I

Been extra eco-conscious lately all thanks to The Haze and the Nat Geo article I'm reading about the usual suspects of global warming - oil and coal. After reading a a few issues of Nat Geo, you'll realised that the same topics keep cropping up - Hubble telescope, conservation of energy, discovery of ancient artifacts, end of cheap oil, Iran / Serbia / Russia / Iraq... Not complaining. I'm grateful for the updates as I've discovered that the truism - change is the only constant - is, well, quite true.

Enough waffling. My first baby step to saving the earth is to go paperless for my SingTel bills. After a tedious online application, I've finally activated my e-billing account and all my bills now arrive in PDF files for easy viewing. One gripe: I don't see why I have to pay $0.53 should I request for a hard copy of my bill now that I'm under the e-billing system. I suppose it's to prevent those people who feel that they are entitled to both.
