Credit Cards

Did you know there are 1.2 billion credit and retail cards in North America alone – think of the impact if even half this number switched to a carbon card option.

With 68 million cards in circulation, the UK has more credit cards issued than there are people!

In 2002, there were nearly 245 million credit cards in circulation. Japanese consumers purchased JPY 24.7 trillion (USD $198 Billion) worth of goods and services resulting in 2,339 million credit card transactions. What a difference it would make if those purchases counted for their carbon impact.
