DISH Invites Customers to Ditch the Paper, Plant a Tree
  • DISH teams up with American Forests to plant a tree for every current customer who switches to paperless billing in April
  • In celebration of Earth Month, DISH engages customers in its efforts to reduce paper consumption and minimize waste
ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- DISH announced today it will plant a tree for current customers who switch to paperless billing in the month of April as part of the company's celebration of Earth Month. DISH's eBill option allows customers to receive their bill online rather than in the mail. Trees will be planted by American Forests, the oldest national nonprofit conservation organization in the country.

"We look forward to working with DISH and its customers to plant thousands of trees together this year," said Lea Sloan, VP of Communications at American Forests. "This initiative helps minimize waste, and contributes to the restoration and preservation of forestland in the United States."

Through this campaign, DISH and its customers will help American Forests toward its goal of planting 2.5 million trees in 2016. In the coming months, hundreds of volunteers will take part in planting a variety of native species to restore forest ecosystems.

"This initiative is a win for customers, DISH and the environment. Customers benefit from enhanced data privacy and a simplified billing experience, DISH reduces its paper use and billing costs, and trees are planted to help preserve important forest areas in the United States," said Erik Carlson, President and COO of DISH. "This is a wonderful opportunity to engage DISH customers in our sustainability efforts and make a positive impact on the environment."

The Earth Month campaign is part of the company's corporate citizenship program, DISH Cares. DISH customers interested in signing up for eBill this month can do so by visiting mydish.com/mypreferences.

If they want to eliminate the paper bill, then provide a discount for doing so.

As far as the tree, I can plant my own tree.

That's a nice thought but at the end of the day, Dish may save what, $.25 or so ? Not sure people would be enticed by a discount like that even if Dish doubled it...

I get $1.50 off Comcast a month for ecobill ( no paper).
 
If any company would offer $1 or more, I'd do it .... just for the principle of it.

None of our bills are "paperless" but 99% get opened, info recorded, and put in the recycle bin. Then I pay them online !
