T-Mobile is getting into the greenness too! I just received my usual monthly cell phone bill from T-Mobile. I usually read the inserts they place in the envelope with the bill to see whats going on. On this particular insert, the headline reads: “It’s easy being green.” The idea is that if you sign up for paperless billing T-Mobile will plant a tree for you through the Arbor Day Foundation.
The insert reads:
Your tree will be part of the Restoration Project, planted where it’s needed most — in damaged regions like Southern California and New Orleans, where trees aren’t growing back on their own.
It seems all touching and loving doesn’t it. But upon further discover you notice an asterisk at the end of the advertisement that reads, in very small print:
Limit one tree per account.
I commend T-Mobile for helping the environment, but on my account alone, with one phone line I receive 5 pages of calls. What happens to those accounts that have numerous phone lines and tens of pages of bill?
