About Us - PayItGreen™
Reducing the paper in financial transactions can have a big environmental impact. To do its part Law Conferencing embraces the PayItGreen™ philosophy and utilizes electronic methods for all invoicing and payment processing.
Some facts on electronic transactions
By switching to electronic bills, statements, and payments, every year the average household can:

- Save 0.079 trees
- Avoid use of 4.5 gallons of gasoline to mail bills, statements, and payments
- Avoid release of 63 gallons of wastewater into the environment
- Avoid producing 171 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions
Saving this amount of greenhouse gas emissions is the equivalent of:
- The emissions avoided by not driving 169 miles
- The emissions avoided by not consuming 8.8 gallons of gasoline
- Planting 2 tree seedlings and allowing them to grow for 10 years
- Preserving 24 square feet of forestland
