How a Credit Card Can Save The Planet

The year of 2007 has been a start to take back our environment from all of the bad pollution and bad habits.  There has been many hot concert tickets and big movies made to help change our ways and make a greener world to live in for us and the generations we leave behind.  Al Gore has been one of the most popular spokesman along with Leonardo DiCaprio to save the environment and even held big events asking for you to pledge not money but your changing of light bulbs or something as simple as conserving energy.

Now you can help change the world with a credit card that gives back to climate projects from General Electric.  GE is one of the most innovative companies in the world when it comes to saving our world.  The are one of the top producers of windmills, solar energy, and the low-energy light bulbs we see in our homes.  You have the option with this card to contribute to climate projects 1% or half of a percent and get the other half for yourself.  The World and Mother Earth will appreciate every bit of help no matter if you give half or a full percent.

Suggestions that can help save the enviromnent:

1. Select “no receipt” when purchasing gas at the pump – this cuts down on paper usage and may even cut down risk of identity theft potential.

2. Pay bills with credit cards so you are not wasting paper on envelopes and stamps. Go a step farther and ask your credit card company or loan originator to quit sending paper statements and opt for everything electronic.

3. Use your credit card rewards points earned to donate to earth friendly causes.

4. Make purchases from companies who invest in our environment and alternative energy technology (GE, Bp, Whole Foods Market).
