Greener Credit

E-mail Print PDF
This is one of the areas I use to buy carbon-offsets.  A green credit card will be one of the few areas of a greener lifestyle that doesn’t save you money, but it offers rewards that help the planet.  Using an off-set credit card is a type of way to invest in emission reduction and reforestation. Efforts.  The off-sets add up.  If you put $750 of your monthly purchases on your card you off-set eleven tons of CO2.  If half of Maui did that, it would be equivalent to taking all the cars off the road!

I like Bank of America’s Brighter Planet Visa carbon-offset card at brighterplanet.com.  I already use bank of America for my home loan and other credit and I’m happy with their service and they’re a name I can trust.  Plus they give me a great rate since they know me and my credit rating. is excellent.  However, according to bankrate.com, most of these cards charge an interest rate a few percentage points higher so you don’t want to use them unless you can pay tem off every month.
