BofA: Saving the Planet One Credit Card at a Time
With the environment becoming a larger concern for many consumers, Bank of America has entered the “green” card market with an eco-based card that allows users to earn points towards carbon-offsets instead of traditional rewards. The Brighter Planet Visa Credit Card is just one aspect of B of A’s increasing environmental initiatives. The firm has long promoted paperless statements as a way to save trees and is currently building an eco-friendly skyscraper in Manhattan.
In addition, since the firm doesn’t say, it’s not clear whether the card is made from new plastic, recycled plastic, or Al Gore’s tears.
