Conservation tip of the month   Many of us have moved to receiving paperless statements of our accounts and monthly bills.   Also, many of us are paying our bills online, which is another great way to save on paper.   However, if you are still receiving this type of mail and find yourself with an abundance of extra envelopes consider putting them aside and "recycle" them by using them the next time you have to send in a note to your child's teacher or the PTO.
