Say "No" to ATM Receipts

So you want to become more eco-friendly, but haven't figured out how to convert your car to run on restaurants' used fryer oil? Not to worry, there are little things you can do in your day-to-day life to help preserve the environment. One such way is saying "no" to ATM receipts.

Thrown on the ground almost as much as gum wrappers, ATM receipts are one of the biggest sources of litter on the planet. If all the ATM users in the U.S. stopped getting receipts for one year, we would save over two billion feet worth of paper, which is enough to wrap around the equator fifteen times. Imagine that!

Earth Hour 2009

This Saturday, March 28th, is the first worldwide Earth Hour "election." At 8:30 p.m. local time, wherever you live on planet Earth, switch your lights off for one hour.

Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. The World Wildlife Foundation is urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach a target of 1 billion homes and businesses who switch off their lights for one hour. The data will be presented to world leaders at the 2009 Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen.

2,848 cities, towns, and municipalities in 84 countries have committed to participating in Earth Hour 2009. Please be one of the households to to Vote! Earth.
