YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - An Ohio gas company hopes a little philanthropy will encourage customers to go paperless for the next two months.

Columbia Gas of Ohio has vowed to donate $5 to the American Red Cross for every customer who enrolls in paperless billing.

The offer is good for the first 4,000 customers who sign up between now and March 31, 2013.

That would generate a total of $20,000 that would be split among Ohio American Red Cross chapters.
