Some of my friends would argue that personal checks are a thing of the past. I'll be the first to admit that I use my debit card instead of a personal check in almost every instance that I can.

That, however, doesn't mean that everyone is changing. In fact, my parents and most of my relatives still use checks and some of them use checks on a daily basis. At the rate that they use checks, I get depressed thinking about all of the trees that are being wasted when they could just be using a debit card. But as they say, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks". While I don't entirely agree with that saying, getting my parents to start using checks made from recycled paper is much easier than getting them to use a debit card.

If you, or people in your life, use checks, I urge you: switch to checks made from recycled paper!

Here are some great brands that offer these checks (and most of them can be ordered online, too!)

The good news? There are plenty of other companies where those came from.
