A Brighter Planet newsletter
Roll out the green carpet
Brighter Planet members have offset 10,463,294 lbs. of CO2.
That's like taking 315,628 cars off the road for a day.
Welcome, friends
We're pleased to announce two new partners: the American Park Network, hosting more than 200 million Americans each year at the beautiful parks of North America, and the National Gardening Association, promoting an appreciation of gardening throughout the country. (NGA hosts NYC Grows, a giant festival in Union Square on April 27 that we'll be attending—hope to see you there!)
New product: Offsets by Brighter Planet
Introducing Planet Shares! Now you can invest in our planet and offset the emissions of a specific activity or event—say the emissions from your car, your upcoming vacation or your wedding Planet Shares make great gifts and help you go the extra mile toward carbon neutrality, learning about CO2 emissions all along the way. As with the credit card, you'll be helping to build a network of renewable energy projects across the United States.
And last but not least . . .
Happy Earth Day!
—the team at Brighter Planet
This month's conservation tip: Go paperless and stop junk mail. The average American receives 41 pounds of junk mail a year. This month you should stop unwanted catalogs and sign up for electronic annual reports and bank statements. Choose online banking and paperless billing with the Brighter Planet Visa card and receive an extra ton of offsets when you sign up!
See your rewards on your Bank of America monthly statement. (As always, your rewards are also available in real time from your brighterplanet.com profile—you'll see Planet Shares purchases reflected there as well.)
