Every small action counts when it comes to protecting our planet—even the way we pay. This World Environment Day, Visa shares easy tips to reduce your carbon emissions with digital payments.
1. Choose eco-friendly cards: Ask your bank about cards made from sustainable material, such as recycled or bio-sourced plastic. Most bank offer these cards with the same secure functionality perfect for eco-conscious travellers.
2. Go digital with receipts: Say goodbye to paper waste. Choose e-receipts and transaction alerts to cut down waste and stay on top of your spending. Bonus: switch to digital bank statements to shrink your carbon footprint further.
3. Save your time and the planet with a tap: Enable your Visa card for contactless payments to simply tap and pay on the go. Alternatively add your Visa to your NFC enabled phone or smartwatches, fitness bands and other wearables, enabled for contactless payments and make payments. This will minimise reliance on cash and physical modes of payments.
4. Spend sustainably and get rewarded: Check with your bank for Visa cards that reward green choices, like dining at eco-friendly restaurants or shopping sustainable brands, and enjoy perks while making the planet a better place for all.
5. Next-Gen Green Hack: As climate-friendly technology continues to evolve, carbon calculators from networks like Visa will soon help cardholders track their COâ‚‚ emissions and offer personalised suggestions, including carbon offset options, to support eco-conscious choices.
