ATM Receipts

Another Monday morning in paradise. The next tip from Jodi Helmer's "The Green Year" advises us to not take receipts when using the ATM. "The receipts from 8 billion ATM transactions per year are one of the biggest sources of litter on the planet. If Americans declined their ATM receipts, it would save a roll of paper more than 2 billion feet long - enough to circle the equator more than 15 times!"

That's what I love about this book, it not only tells us what to do, it tells us why and gives us the global perspective. The book advises to bank online and view transactions there, which I have started doing. I love online banking! Much easier and no more paper!
