Couple pro check arguments to start.
Paper production is good for forests and results in more trees. Instant offset.
Checks are 100% recyclable.
Checks can be used without electricity.
Checks can be produced on recycled paper.
Checks can be produced without fissile fuels or electricity if a company desired.
Checks bio-degrade quickly and are also compostable.

Recycling requires energy. A wire transfer or epass does too.
Can't cash a check without it going through the fed and using electricity.
Recycled paper uses energy but lets call it neutral here.
Checks can't be printed without some sort of power and lets face it, electricity.
Could be composted but less then 1% are.
