Skip the Receipt!

The next time you use an ATM machine – skip the receipt!

If a person or a machine asks “Would you like a receipt?” – answer “No.” A lot of receipts used in ATMs and supermarkets are coated with BPA – a toxic chemical used in thermal paper that keeps the ink from running. Our hands absorb even MORE of the toxic stuff if we have lotion on. And NEVER EVER hold a receipt in your mouth while fumbling around for your keys. If you really need that receipt – try to remember to keep your hands away from your mouth – and wash them as soon as possible.
