Evans Easyspace have launched a new online billing system in order to reduce the amount of paper the company uses.

Evans are encouraging their clients to take up the new service with the added benefit that they will donate £2 for each one that moves to online billing by the end of June 2008, with the money going to the Woodland Trust. Online billing is becoming more popular as businesses seek to reduce their carbon footprints and promote themselves as being ‘green’, BT are promoting their online billing by donating a tree to the Woodland Trust if you go paper free.
