(Recycled) checks and balances

I always seem to use my last check before actually realizing it's my last check.
Yes, I know there are reminders in my checkbook. I'm oblivious.
Some of you readers are scratching your heads right now and saying to yourselves, "Checks? You mean those things I used to write before I moved to the greener computerized banking?"
I'm still getting up to speed on paying some things online. Bear with me. Until then, there's going to be some paper and some fuel-consuming Post Office trucks. Sue me.
While I work to go greener, I'll at least choose a slightly less evil paper check, one that can spread some love.
Consider green checks from:
The Check Gallery Inc.: These checks are made from recycled paper and printed with veggie-based ink. But they won't make you bounce a check because the introductory offers are awesome, and the followup prices aren't bad either. You can pick checks that further your message or organization, like the National Wildlife Federation. My faves, the Earth Matters checks, have a recycling logo and tout the soy-based inks and recycled paper.
Message Products: These checks send a message by declaring your affiliation with or affinity to a given organization. It's not just lip service. The nonprofits get some of what you pay, on average about 10 percent. And these checks, too, are on recycled paper with soy-based inks. On the animal side, you can pick from animal rights groups and wildlife groups. Environmentally, you have everything from Greenpeace and Sierra Club to Civil War Preservation to Friends of the National Parks.
While I'm waiting for my order to arrive, I'll be trying to master paying bills from my bank's site instead of at various companies' sites. Then I'll use fewer checks. But when I do use them, I can feel better about it.
