Cost of stationary , paper envelopes and stamps
Dear Redland City Council,
I recently,purchased property and asked for my statements / invoices by email as my part in helping the environment and of course ease of access. I appreciate I can go online to view these, however that doesn't negate the unacceptable environmental impact of posted invoices.
I would be grateful for the costs associated with sending paper documentation. E.g postage, paper, envelopes, printing, staffing costs, as I would like to approach the Government with an appeal to send ALL correspondence by email.
Thank you for your help.
Yours faithfully,
Kathy.
