Human beings. The top of the food chain, arguably. We are a consuming people. Otherwise we would’ve never gotten to the pinnacles we are at now, but at what cost. I look at it like a butterfly effect sometimes. You just don’t know how much one mundane incident means to the future. Here’s one that most business owners don’t think about…………….
Your receipts
These small little slips can do some significant damage. Did you know that a large majority (some say 100%) of all U.S. receipts contain the chemical BP-A or BP-S (Bisphenol A or S). A lot of people are familiar with BP-A, but now companies are trying to pass BP-S in products that say “BP-A Free” (clever huh).Bad thing about BP-S is that is up to 19 times more absorbable in the skin that BP-A!!! Now if you didn’t know, BPA has been linked to :
|
Cancer |
Diabetes |
|
Obesity |
Infertility |
|
Liver Problems |
Heart disease |
YOU ARE EXPOSING YOURSELF AND YOUR STAFF TO A LIFE THREATENING CHEMICAL EVERY DAY
The chemical rubs off of the receipts very easily and can be found on your hands up to 2 hours after washing your hands. Plus, we use 4.3 million trees every year just for receipts! Of these 4.3 million trees, most of the receipts are just tossed in the street.
Do yourself a favor and go paperless. It’s the only way to protect yourself, your staff, and your earth.
It would be nice to not have all those little receipts everywhere, wouldn’t it?
Imagine just looking in a digital database for a receipt and not in an old filing cabinet! Pretty sweet huh?
That chemical exposure and wasting of paper is the only reason places like Macy’s asks you if your want your receipt emailed to you.
There is an extremely easy way for your office to go paperless without breaking the bank.
Send me any questions you have! If I don’t have the answer, I will find it!
