Paperless bills = less clutter, more trees

PGE Family Planting with FOT

If you’re a Portland General Electric customer, and you switch to the PGE Paperless Bill option between February 1 and March 15, 2012, you’ll reduce paper clutter, simplify your life, and help plant trees!

PGE will donate $1 in your honor to Friends of Trees.

PGE will notify you by email each month when your bill is ready to view online. Past bills are stored online, too, for easy review. It’s simple, secure, and sustainable. You can also pay your bill online!

Sign up here for Paperless Bill.

Thank you for reducing paper use and supporting Friends of Trees. And thank you, PGE, for leaving a legacy with your generous support over the years.

Above is a photo of a PGE employee’s family planting with Friends of Trees in Forest Park.

FOT is honored by Public Relations Society of America

I think that I shall never see
a poem as lovely as a tree–

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against a volunteer in a safety vest

A tree producing oxygen all day
Will leave a legacy that’s here to stay

Planting a tree is an amazing sensation
Improving the urban canopy of this stumptown nation

Friends of Trees is a group that’s growing
Deftly using communications to help its sowing

With a PR campaign that calls us to action
Bringing communities together with great satisfaction

“Plant it Portland” takes us from “grey to green”
Using social media and the YouTube screen

With story placements, blogs and tweets
Even their Facebook page is sweet

Yes, I think that I shall never see
A nonprofit as PR savvy as Friends of Trees

Poems are made by fools like me
But you too can plant a tree
